Hello,
I have a 2012 MBP non-retina.
I was hoping to upgrade the HDD to a SSD - but obviously the SSD's speeds are completely dependent on the SATA III connector it feeds to. I'm wanting to know if it's possible to remove the SATA III connector and install a PCIE connector instead, which would allow me to install something that does much better than 500 mbps. Would it be possible to connect a PCIE card to thunderbolt and boot from that at start-up?
Thoughts? I've done some googling to no avail.
