Is it ok when I replace my HDD on my MBP late 2006 with a SSD SATA3?
And if it is, how speed data transfer?
Thanks 😀

Yes, you can replace the HDD with a SATA 3 SSD. I have a Samsung 830 256GB drive in my early 2006 MBP and it works fine. Link speed is only 1.5 Gb/s on your machine if I'm not mistaken, but the speed difference will be very noticeable.

Thanks so much. I've bought a new one today after read it ! :apple: 😀

You're going to be limited to around 130MB/s. The good news is that you'll have a great SSD to move from your old MBP to your new one when you upgrade(as long as what you buy doesn't already have one).

As I see, my MBP starts faster than before. 😀
Maybe I will buy new 13'' one, once this old can't be fix anymore

2006 MBP 😀

i'm glad to see that it still works.

Yup, the first :apple: in my life 😀. So I have been treating she as a baby, I will wait for her eighteen 😛
