Reviving my early 2011 MBP 13" 8,1

[MBP_187]

Open the terminal app and type sudo trimforce enable followed by the enter key and password.

Hi Audit13,

I want to enable TRIM for my MBP. I read online about some SSDs not being good for TRIM (the black listed SSDs : https://www.howtogeek.com/222077/how-to-enable-trim-for-third-party-ssds-on-mac-os-x/ )

How can I found out what SSD I have? I tried to check under About this Mac, but can't find anything.

I *think* I might have an Samsung 850 something SSD. Would it be safe to enable TRIM?

Thanks for the replies.

I don't know of any ssd that doesn't benefit from trim.

Thank you.

I will follow your instructions and enable TRIM now. I will update soon. Thanks again.

You are welcome.

I run trim on a Samsung 840 evo, 850 evo, OCZ vertex 3, Kingston hyper X, corsair neutron, and adata sp550.

I have enabled TRIM.

Thank you Audit13 & Apples555.

Guys..I am having a tough time finding the right vendor for speakers. Any1 has any experience with these spares available on eBay or if they know of any reliable source? Most of the vendors seem to be supplying the used spares.

What's wrong with used?

Buy from PowerbookMedic if you want a warranty.

 

[rohitbansal1507]

Used one have shorter life and you can't be sure they'll be 100% working. Found one on eBay dunno how it'll be:

PowerbookMedic doesn't have the right speaker and subwoofer and left one is also used

What is a good replacement battery for a Mid 2010 13" MacBook Pro? Mine currently has 1103 cycles on it at 42% health, so I need to replace it.

Buddy, get the NuPower battery without any hesitation. I researched through all possible options and finally bought NuPower. It's even better than the original one. DO NOT buy the cheap Chinese stuff. They have retailers all across the globe hence shouldn't be an issue eve if you're not based in US.

Where can I get this battery, I don't see it on Amazon.

 

[rohitbansal1507]

Go to Macsales or directly look for NuPower batteries on Google. If you are in US I would say Macsales is best.

 

[Apples555]

I have an Egoway battery from Amazon. Works fine. 102.4% capacity after one month.

Speak of the devil, my optical drive just died. I don't think I've ever had an optical drive die before. I guess I'll be getting a second hard drive. I wonder if Mac OS is smart enough to turn it off to save power.
