ItР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s just frustrating cuz IР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›ve seen people like Luke Miani install SSDs in dozens of old MacBooks and gotten them working just fine practically every time. Is that a sign of a hard drive cable malfunctioning or being overpowered by the SSD? When I put the HDD back in place, itР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s like nothing ever changed. ItР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s only when I use the SSD that the performance becomes crap. As far as I know, the mid-2012 MacBook Pro is compatible with SATA III.Р В РІР‚СњР В РІР‚С›dditionally, IР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›m skeptical as to whether my hard drive cable needs to be replaced, because every time I use this laptop with the original hard drive, it performs as expected. IР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›m already trying to replace my original HDD with the new SSD in the original hard drive caddy position (leaving my optical drive intact). Thanks for sharing this! IР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›m not sure this quite fits my situation though. Be sure to read all the comments, for example the one saying the caddy option worked properly. Guessing it has something to do with the SATA connection or port choice due to the age of the machine, such as discussed here. If anyone has any ideas about what the problem might be, or if there might be any compatibility issues, please let me know. IР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›ve been stuck using a slow laptop since 2014 and IР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›m beyond sick and tired of it. If that doesnР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t work out, I think IР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›m gonna say the hell with it-time to just buy a new computer. The 30-day return window for Amazon has passed, so I think at this point I might contact Samsung about getting a replacement drive. SSDs are supposed to be snappy and responsive, yet this has been anything but. This 1 TB Samsung EVO 870 SSD was purchased brand-new from Amazon in January and has yet to work properly.

I even bought a 2 TB backup hard drive to help keep my data safe in case anything goes wrong with my original HDD.

SamsungР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s Magician software is only compatible with Windows, so that was never an option for me. I tried a fresh install of OS X on the SSD. IР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›ve taken every step IР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›ve been advised to take. This also seemed to include trackpad clicks, although that may have just been the system lagging. Then, everything I did with my keyboard-like trying to open Spotlight Search using Р В Р вЂ Р В Р вЂ°Р вЂ™Р’В + Space-resulted in no response from macOS.

I was prompted to press the key immediately to the right of the left Shift key (the letter Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўZР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™). Once I logged in, the first thing that happened was the Keyboard Setup Assistant automatically ran. And again, the performance was just as slow and periodically interrupted as before.

The install was successful, so I went forward with setting up my Mac as a new user without opting to migrate any data over right away. I wiped the EVO 870 clean and did a fresh install of OS X El Capitan using a USB installer I prepared. I started working on it again in the past couple days and still feel like IР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›m slamming my head against a wall. I put this on the backburner for about a month because itР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s such a headacheР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В and feels like a wasted investment.

It felt similar to an EVO 850 IР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›d previously used with this laptop that had become corrupted and started performing erratically.

It managed to boot and load my desktop and even open a couple programs, but it was running very slowly-notably worse than my slow HDD. When I first got the SSD, I formatted it for macOS using Disk Utility, cloned my HDD to it, and installed it in my MacBook Pro.

( IР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›ve already posted about this problem here, but this is an update to my original post.) Currently, my 500 GB HDD has a little over 400 GB of content on it. I recently purchased a brand new 1 TB Samsung EVO 870 SSD for a substantial speed and storage upgrade. I am using a mid-2012 13Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™Р В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В Unibody MacBook Pro, running OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), and my system has 8 GB of 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM, an Intel Core i7 processor, and the original 500 GB 5400 rpm Hard Disk Drive (yuck).
