I don't have much experience with Mac's but I've replaced a failed sata drive with a 240gb SSD in a 2010 MacBook Pro and am trying to reinstall Mountain Lion from the internet. It all seems to be going ok but the time remaining seems to be around 5 hours to completion. It has stabilised at around 5 hours but it's slow going.
Most advice I've found online suggests upto an hour should be the maximum time needed..
I've got a decent internet speed here so it's not that.
I've tried direct ethernet connection and wireless and it's the same in both.
The Mac was working ok before the hard drive failed.
Any ideas as to why this is taking so long?
