Just a week ago I installed into our old MacBook Pro (2010) an SSD instead of the DVD Drive and since then it is rocket fast – using Aperture with thousand of photos is now starting in seconds, vs. 10 minutes or more before.

So if you have an old HDD based MacBook Pro – go and get an SSD (we bought the Samsung 250 GB 840 Evo series $177) plus the Hardwrk adapter kit (€80) and enjoy your hardware getting incredible faster.

If you live in Boston and are interested in a free Hardwrk adapter, let me know – have a spare one 🙂
