So i have a macbook pro late 2011. I currently have the original 500 GB SATA disk for storage. As I'm nearing 500 GB, I wanted to upgrade it to 1TB. I've went through like 10 youtube videos and countless reviews. I'm not sure what kind of hard drive to get. I basically use this computer for music, web surfing, and school. I don't do any gaming or video editing or any of that stuff. Would I get away with using this?

Is there something better or something that I should be worried about?

Thanks

broo noo ssd is not for just gamers. the difference in read/write speeds is insane.

you shouldnt even be considering a hdd. Buy the biggest storage ssd you can and use an hdd to have as extra storage you wont need all the time.

it's just faster overall. start up and opening things is faster. you'll notice the difference right away

ssd's changed my life tbh

i thought thats what ram was for (which i upgraded a couple months ago).

isn't it the same steps to put on as hdd? no soldering or any of that type of s***

thanks for all the replies and help everybody.
