[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1860043, member: 56379"] Are you experiencing any issues? Asking "out of the blue" if you should replace the thermal compound is unusual. Probably better to do some research first before replacing. But if you were looking for more internal storage...then that can be a different matter.:) If this was purchased refurbished from Apple this would not be the case. But if purchased from somewhere else...yes...there's really no set standard for what "refurbished" means exactly. If you were to go ahead & replace the SSD...then you might as well replace the thermal paste while you're in there (assuming you have the tools & skills to do it carefully).:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
