Hi,

This morning I turned on my computer to hear a high pitched wurring noise and the white screen with a question mark folder. After doing some research and trying several remedies that I read on the forum. I have concluded that the drive has given out completely. Therefore I am looking for a replacement hard drive.

Hoping to get some help. I have a 13" macbook pro that I bought new in 2011. From the sounds and the research I have done, the harddrive that I upgraded to when I first bought it is now done. (Western Digital 1tb). So I figured since I need a new harddrive I would go ahead and upgrade to an SSD.

This is is the one I am interested as it is a decent price for the size of storage. Hoping to get some opinions and help on if this will fit or not. I have also read about the Samsung 840 Pro, is it worth the price difference?

Also, when I install it, I'm assuming I can dump in the gray disk that came with my laptop then from there upgrade to Mavericks again?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
