[QUOTE="vincentmilone, post: 1520922, member: 193214"] Thanks guys. So this is what I would need to correct... ? [url=http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/SSDMX6G240T/]OWC OWCSSDMX6G240T 240GB Mercury EXTREME Pro 6G SSD... in stock at OWC[/url] . Is there a speed difference between 120 and 240? I'd assume it's simply capacity. I'm trying to think if I could pull off 120GB, if I back up my pictures onto the external drives. I don't do much else, no apps really, just microsoft office and photoshop. Oh that reminds me, how will I transfer microsoft office/photoshop? I'd hate to have to purchase them again. Since I got the laptop in 2011, I currently have used 75GB. Whenever I create a short movie in iMovie, it takes a very long time to transfer files and load everything...I'm hoping a ram upgrade and SSD would speed things up. I don't see a 256gb option. Anyway...wish there was a cheaper place to find one. Oh well...Any thoughts on a definite source for a battery for this model? Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
