[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1728889, member: 42497"] Well it all depends on what MBP you have, USB2 or USB3 etc. Do you have an internal SSD? If not the platter internal drive will be a bottleneck and slow down the external SSD. For what you describe in thread 6 just use FW800 and say SuperDuper or CarbonCopyCloner to clone the internal to the SSD. Using CCC or SD will make the SSD bootable before you pop it in. Depending how much you have on the internal, FW wiill do the job in an hour or so. Also beware of damaging the SATA cable in your MBP. They get quite brittle with age and heat and can crack inside the casing without you being aware of it. Always good advise to use a new cable when you replace a drive. [/QUOTE]
