Upgrade Your Macbook To SSD

A year ago, my MacBook was so slow that it often couldn’t take in text as fast as I could type it. I was going to buy a whole new computer, but then I eliminated the sluggishness just by replacing the hard drive with an SSD.

I got a Crucial M500 256GB  but today I would get the Crucial M550.
