I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2010 (MacBookPro 6,2) with a SATA 3 Interface and I would like to replace my HDD with a SSD.
Googling a bit I found these SSDs as possible candidates for my MacBook Pro:
- V4 by Crucial with SATA 2 Interface (3Gb/s), Model CT256V4SSD2
- Samsung 830 Series with SATA 3 Interface (3Gb/s), Model MZ-7PC256B/WW
- 240GB Mercury Electra 3G SSD by OWC
What do you think about?
The Samsung drive is only 7mm instead of the usual 9.5mm of the other ones. Do I need to use a spacer for it?
Furthermore, from Samsung site I see there are two versions available. The one with the laptop kit (MZ-7PC256N) and the one without it (MZ-7PC256B). Are these versions the same or not? Within Amazon site I see that the former has been published in 2011 while the latter in 2012.
Thank you in advance.
