I have a 2012 MBP 13 and I have done a good bit of research and have came down to these two choices for a SSD.
830
Faster writing but you can not update the firmware through the MBP, is this still true?
M4
You can update the firmware through the MBP but I read of some people getting a beachball for 30 seconds every now and then with the M4, does this still happen?
The M4 is over 100 dollars cheaper than the 830.
I will be cloning my HDD with CCC to transfer to the SSD if this helps.
Im leaning more towards the M4 because of the firmware update, but do not want to get beachballs. If I do go with the M4 which one do I choose?

Right now I will just be replacing my HDD with the SSD but when my warranty runs out I plan on doing the optibay.
Any input is welcome.
Thank you
