Hi there,
I have a 2012 MBP 13" i7 and am tempted to finally swap for a 500gb SSD.
I am currently on Mountain Lion and have full disk encryption enabled. My time machine backup is also encrypted.
I figure I may as well move to Mavericks, so my plan for migration is as follows:
-download Mavericks from App Store and create a USB install key.
-fit SSD
-clean install Mavericks
-restore all apps and data from Time Machine backup (usb3 so hopefully quite quick)
A few questions:
1. Has anyone done this with full disk encryption on?
2. Will this be (at least nearly) as good as a full clean install?
3. Will I then have to re-encrypt the SSD?
4. Do I have to do anything about TRIM on the new drive?
Drive recommendations also appreciated. Read somewhere that Samsung drives don't "play nice" with MBPs, not sure if there is any truth in that?
Many thanks
