    Keychain error

    Hello dear people, I've got a small issue here. A while ago I got multiple keychain errors, and I tried to reinstall OS X again and it all failed. Thinking my HDD in my MacBook had failed I ordered a brand new SDD (Samsung Evo 850). After a successful install I get the same errors again, and my...

    External SSD Case

    Not sure if this is the right subforum, but here goes... A few weeks ago, I broke my 2012 MBA while doing the whole "see if the computer can drink a glass of water" trick. I went to the Apple store and got the SSD card taken out since I don't have a pentalobe screwdriver, but they don't help...

    SSD not so fast as the first time ...

    HI! When I bought my 2015 13" Retina Macbook Pro with 512GB SSD (with Yosemite), I ran a Black Magic Speed test and It showed me about 1300 MB/s write and read speed. Nowadays I ran a Black Magic again after 4 months later (with ElCapitan) and It showed me only 600 MB/s write speed (half as the...

    One or Two SSDs in cMBP?

    I've just purchased a 2012 cMBP (15" i7 2.6MHz/16GB/750GB) to replace my 2012 rMBP (15" i7 2.7/16/768). I did it because I've been using an external HD and found it sometimes slow and and inconvenient. The cMBP came with a 750GB HD but I'm going to replace it with a SSD. However, I may also put...

    2013 A1466 Air died, how to read the SSD?

    I bought an A1466 Air in Spring of 2013. Unfortunately, without it functioning, I do not have the actual hardware revision -- simply just what was printed on bottom of the case. (FYI, the machine just flat out died, no charge light, no liquid damage, etc). I am looking for an adapter for the...

    Samsung 850 EVO alternatives for 2011 MBP

    I have an early 2011 MBP 13" right now and would like to upgrade with an SSD. (The RAM upgrade didn't seem to have any noticable changes) I have heard many issues regarding 850 EVO installation on Macs, thus OWC is more recommended for us I guess? Since the 850 EVO has the best value, what...
