Clone a Mac Book Pro HDD to a SSD?

Adding to this - the weirdness happening to my MBP may well be due to a problem with the SSD. They did say that SSDs don't last forever and this one has lasted 6 years.

But I got the MBP in April 2012 and I'm worried about spending > £200 on a replacement SSD only for Apple to stop supporting MBP 2011's.

Is it worth the gamble, or do I just buy a new PC?

Write it off through depreciation and buy a new one though the Ltd. Simples.

Oh, wait, you can't

Depends what size SSD you need. The 512Gb Crucial that I put in the MBP was about 120 quid. Not a huge investment for totally transforming the machine. And if you do chuck away the MBP in a couple of years you get to keep the SSD for something else.

Ah, that's much cheaper than than the 512 I bought in 2012!

And you're quite right about pulling it out when I'm forced to replace. I'll do that Fred, thanks.

I think the 512GB SSD as a factory fit was something like £750 extra compared to a HDD when my company bought an MBP in 2011.

Which is why I trashed the warranty immediately and put a Crucial in it.
