My hardware knowledge is limited, so I thought I would ask.

I am planning to upgrade my Macbook pro Mid - 2012 with SSD hard drive.

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)
Processor: 2.5 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5
Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

Found 2 products, one is £10 cheaper than the other. Except for a slight transfer speed difference both look the same. But I am not sure

Crucial BX500 1TB CT1000BX500SSD1-Up to 540 MB/s (Internal SSD, 3D NAND, SATA, 2.5 Inch): Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories - £88
Crucial MX500 1 TB CT1000MX500SSD1-Up to 560 MB/s (3D NAND, SATA, 2.5 Inch, Internal SSD), Black: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories - £99

Can somebody help?

Thanks

Go to Crucial GB| DRAM, Solid State Drive (SSD) & Memory Upgrades and use their upgrade guide

Thanks. I did before posting. That page list both the products without highlighting differences thus useless.

Anyway, after several pages and videos, I have managed to spot the differences. Here it is. Might be useful for some one.

£99 - MX500 comes with DRAM/Cache + 5 warranty (2 years more). Went for it.
