Awesome! I just had it in sleep mode, sitting on my lap, 120-2004. as long as the numbers look good I'll be getting my SSD soon, unless theres any other hardware I should be looking at being faulty?

sorry, I got wrapped up at work, I just installed it. My computer has been on for about 10 minutes, sitting on my ottoman, its at 131*F and 2001 RPM, now at 127 1996

I'd appreciate that! I won't be home myself for a few hours, so I'll download that and see what my results are

Are there any numbers I should look for? Obviously if the fan isn't working that's the starter, but what would a high temp be?

It is currently sitting on my lap and is rather warm on the bottom. Any hints or tips as to what I should check out to see if something needs to be replaced before i pay for an SSD and can't return it? Note: I think I hear the fan running slightly, not quite sure though.

Last question I promise... Did you get an EVO or Pro SSD? I'm thinking about just getting the EVO

Great! Thanks so much for the help! Now the next challenge is to get OS on to it (once I get it).

Awesome! Thanks for that info!

I meant to quote you on my last post, sorry Ok, went to the website you suggested and its leaving me with 2 last questions... 1) Is there a physical size of the drive I need to watch for? Will I need a bracket or anything special? 2) The website lists three different SATA 6.0 Gb/s, so if i go...

Did you experience the battery symptom I have? If so, have you replaced it or left it alone?

I consulted the Apple guy at Best Buy and just want to confirm his information before pulling the (figurative) trigger. I have a MBP mid-2009 and its currently running El Capitan. I originally had 2GB of memory and recently did an upgrade to 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3 from OWC (max GB for my machine)...

Thanks for the link, but it seems as though people are just naming names, rather than what I'm looking for of whats good and whats not

I'm not sure where to post this, so I'm posting under my device. I'm looking to maybe put a VPN on just for security and ISP protection, damn you Comcast! I see MANY VPN's available in the app store; any recommendations? Any I should stay away from?

I'm guessing I'm so used to looking at the two white loading bars for 20-30 minutes :nerd:

The reason I asked is because, long story short, I was updating my MBP and iPhone at the same time, had to plug the phone to the MBP because I was low on battery, MBP restarted and the update was done instantly it seemed so I wasn't sur gif it cancelled kind of thing. But seeing that icon there...
