In this short article I will explain how to install a Corsair Force GT SATA3 SSD on a MBP 240GByte from the second half of 2009. The installation of this device makes it possible to greatly increase the performance in accessing the mass memory .
The device's datasheet is available on the official Corsair website.Attention, before continuing you make a backup of your data and your operating system with Time Machine on any external USB disk !The SSD drive is presented as below:
It has a normal connection port which supports the SATA and SATA3 protocols capable of a throughput up to 6Gbps . Obviously the MBP Late 2009 does not support this speed , but fortunately the device is backward compatible with SATA 2 and SATA versions .
The device circled in red is the hard drive on your computer. To remove , unscrew the two screws that secure cross rod black . The bar essentially serves to keep in place the hard drive.
The hard disk can now be removed from its slot. To do this properly you should remove it from the part where you removed the black rod held by two screws, and remove it from its location. Around the disc , there are 4 screws protruding.
These screws Pentalobe type , can also be removed with some Torx screwdrivers , or you can use small pliers to loosen them . It's necessary to remove these screws and use them on the new SSD . Once attached the new Corsair Force GT SATA3 SSD drive you can place it in the joint and it is still possible to set the bar with the two black screws.
We can now close the computer putting together all the screws .At this point we turn on the computer and we can start to use it. It may be a good idea to restore a backup version stored in advance with Time Machine to an external disk .
This will allow us to retrieve data and operating system in its entirety , with the advantage of having a photocopy of your PC to a new disk at high speed, Corsair Force GT SATA3 .
