Hello Everyone,
I'm getting a 8GB Corsair Vengeance (CL9, 1.35V), and a Samsung 840 EVO (250GB) for upgrading my mid 2012 Macbook pro. Are these a good buy? Any recommendations?
I want to set-up the OS on the new SSD, I want to start afresh, and do not want to clone my existing HDD.
[Also I will have you know that I'm just a Environmental Science student, who doesn't know much about computers, or in other words I'm just a "Noob", the only reason I'm using a Mac is because its 'uber' convenient to use, compared to Windows.]
Back on upgrading my Mac; I'm going to keep the HDD in the driver bay and replace the optical drive with the SSD. How would I go by the initial set up, where I get the OS on the SSD and perhaps format the current HDD - I think there is something goofy going on in there, and how could I sync both the drives together, so that I can use the HDD just for storage i.e. all the multimedia stuff, like Movies, Music, etc.
I have realized that there aren't many Macintosh users in this community, but I'm hoping that someone could help me. Thanks.
