Anything over $600 would be reasonable but allow enough for shipping fees and insurance. Set it up as Buy It Now or Best Offer and people will give you offers for it. Once you were sure everything was ok, you'd secure erase the old one with disk utility, take a photo of it and list the details. To sell it you'd ideally buy the new one first, even if it's on a credit card, then migrate the data over. Your model has sold recently for $600-650. If you wanted to sell the laptop, you can use eBay. If you get the drive enclosure with it, you also get a neat little backup drive, which is useful for migrating to a new machine in future. The 500GB is a big difference but ~$92 difference for the 240/250GB isn't too bad.
Macbook air ssd upgrade 2011 pro#
The Aura Pro is $249 for 240GB and $550 for 480GB. One of the cheapest SSDs would be the Samsung EVO at $157 for 250GB or the 500GB for $323. I am tired of chasing a carrot, and even if that is a reality when dealing with laptop computers, in this particular case it sucks that I can't really upgrade my machine without spending a lot. Thanks for the detailed reply, makes sense but I don't know if I will be able to get 600 or 650 for this machine (nor where to sell it) and it will take a lot of my time to prepare it, advertise it, sell it, buy a new one and be up and running after all. The best option for just the SSD is the Aura Pro but for around $100 more, you get all the other upgrades. If you do get $650 for the old one, then it's roughly $369 for the latest 11" with 256GB and $449 for the 13". You get a faster CPU, faster GPU (Iris), USB 3, longer battery life, faster 802.11ac wifi, 1 year warranty that can be extended to 3 years. Not only do you get PCIe SSD that runs at near 700MB/s as opposed to around 250MB/s: There's the latest 11" and 13" here on the refurb store with 256GB SSD: Your machine would sell for about $600-650. One thing you might consider is upgrading the whole machine. They are slower and will have some wear on them. I don't think buying a used Apple one on eBay is a good idea. The cheaper SSDs now use things like TLC NAND. Apple has also switched to PCIe now instead of mSATA in the old one. The blade SSDs have a custom shape so they only really work in Apple's machines, which is why you won't see many 3rd party versions. Is there any other option, than buying a used one on ebay? I got the computer with those 64gb with the idea of upgrading the SSD later, well later has come, I am ready to move but can't.
I am wondering why is this escenario happening. More that the price of the drive, I can't really believe there are no other alternatives to my model! (at least I could not find one, crucial website says they don't have a replacement drive for my model). which I find ridiculous expensive, particularly in 2014 and for a relatively old machine. The only option I found is an OWC Aura Pro that cost more than 1$ per GB. I have tried to do a reset with command + R on my MacBook Pro early 2015 because it wasn't running right anymore.I am looking to replace the small 65gb toshiba drive on my Air (model 4,1) Macbook air battery problem ( early 2015) MacBook Pro 15.4" - Early 2011 Repair Question Macbook Pro (Early 2015) vs Latest 2016 Touchbar both 13'Įarly 2008 MacBook 4,1 - Battery Recognition Speakers not working early 2011 macbook pro Question MacbookAir6,1 (Early 2014) External Display Issue Question A1278 MBP 13.3" not charging - not switching on - only green led (Maybe) Art and a lil bit of graphic design idk Want no lagging to ensure no complications during competition Usage in competitions (Speech and Debate/Model UN) Planning budgets on excel (Plus other work that Treasurers do) Taking notes on many things (I will be holding the class office position of secretary as well as the same position in my MUN club.)

Macbook air ssd upgrade 2011 update#
Based on what I am using my computer for (below), what do you guys think I should do? Is there a way I can update both my Ram and SSD under my budget? Are the specs on my computer (below) good enough for my usage, if I want no lagging/speed and good space for lots of files on my computer? Let me know! Thanks! Should I update my Ram to 8/16gb or get a 250GB SSD to replace my HD? OR should i buy a 500gb SSHD w/ an update to 8gb of ram? (If so suggestions on SSHD’s?) I will only be using this computer for 3 more years so I definetly don’t want to spend extensive money. I’m on a strict budget and I can only spend $100-140 dollars or less. I have a early 2011 macbook pro, and I’ve been meaning to get an upgrade.
