[QUOTE="WW4B, post: 1810756, member: 395638"] Hi Ian, and thank you. I think I will proceed with the clone route as it seems much easier and less intrusive in regards to steps needed than other options. I will return the WD external HD and purchase an 2.5 HD enclosure (Insignia™ - 2.5" Serial ATA Hard Drive Enclosure - Black. Model:NS-PCHD235 SKU:5820005). This should save me abt $30. i can than insert the new SSD into the enclosure and clone the SSD from the internal HD using the free 30 day trial from Super Duper. Once cloned than replace the internal HD with the cloned SSD. This procedure seems more straight forward. I can than, if not mistaken, still use the old HD in the enclosure as an extra external back up drive until it completely fails. Sound like a plan or am I missing something. Learning a lot abt the mac world. Yes, OWC website confirms that this SSD (Samsung - 860 EVO 500GB Internal SATA Solid State Drive ) is a compatible replacement for my 2011 MBP. [/QUOTE]
