Years ago I replaced a 320 or 500 GB HDD in a previous (maybe 2009) MBPro with a 500 GB SATA SSD from OWC.
OWC has ¡°complete kit¡± or ¡°just the part you want¡± pricing. For installing in an iMac, the ?SATA 2.5¡± SSD, ¡°complete kit¡± includes an enclosure, although OWC¡¯s web page doesn¡¯t say what enclosure they provide (they do say it¡¯s USB-3, bus powered.
If I¡¯m purchasing a PCI-e 1 TB SSD, 32 GB of RAM, and a 2.5 in SATA module, I don¡¯t need 3 ¡°kits¡± because most of the tools in the kit are designed to remove the display from the case and would be included in each kit.
I¡¯ve read stories from people who¡¯ve had no luck keeping bus-powered external USB drives mounted on their Macs. Jim do you remember and problems with the enclosure that OWC provided you?
Thanks a bunch,
