I was told by the Apple store tech that it was a defective By buying this one, I was able to solve my problems.

The SSD on my Macbook pro 13" from mid 2012 wouldn't boot! I installed a new SSD in my Mid 2012 13" Macbook Pro, and it showed a white screen with a question mark
5/5

A factory HDD would boot the OS via SATA, but it would not boot a new SSD if the SSD was internally installed. In addition, the computer would also boot off of the SSD when connected to an external USB, so I knew it was not the drive. I called the SSD manufacturer and they said it's a common issue with computers of this model and year. The shielding on the SATA cable wears out over time, and with the extra data throughput of the SSD, it caused I had a problem with my computer not booting up on the new SSD, but this solved it! Anyone having problems upgrading from a standard HDD to a SS on an HP machine of this year and model should be aware that this could be the culprit.

It takes a little bit of work to install
3/5

Presented in a neat way. I was using a 2012 MacBook Air A1278 with an 821-gigabyte hard drive It is 1480. You can call it a My first attempt at the 821 was unsuccessful The year 2049 We would like to order a replacement from this seller. Despite its packaging, the cable arrived in a safe state. Although the cable was flat, it was perfectly straight. I am referring to the original cable that comes with the MacBook that has a step around the screws (as shown in the To route the cable by the super drive, it was a bit of a challenge to get it in the form of a step (and for that reason, I gave it 3 stars). In addition, the length of the cable to the hard drive connector was a little too long. As with the IR/sleep cable, as well as the IR board mounted to the front rails, the IR circuit board was well adhered. It appears that the cable connector to the logic board is in good condition. Having read a few posts, I decided to provide adequate protection to this cable with electrical insulation tape on both sides of it, so that it won't be stripped off by the unfinished internal surfaces of the MacBook's unibody. My MacBook seems to be working fine at the moment Have you tried shutting down your MacBook 2012 at this point (showing the folder w/ a In this case, I would suggest you replace the faulty cable rather than throw away your hard drive. Also, I would recommend you save your Mac's data in Time Machine).

This is perfect
5/5

My Macbook Pro Mid 2012 fits perfectly with this. Whether you have a white screen no logo, a question mark on your folder or the prohibition sign, here is your fix. It took me a short time to find this easy solution from the research I had done). It may have been a result of overheating that caused this cable to burn out The macbook usually rests on the bed next to me. The original SATA cable on my system It is 1480. I tried another Macbook Pro, but this one seems to be working fine.
Talking of macbook pros, if you find yours has slowed down, you might consider upgrading to a This was the best purchase I have ever made to make my laptop run like new and even faster than when I first.

The 100 dollars I saved were my own
5/5

I noticed that the circle with a line through it appeared suddenly on my MacBook Pro. went to the Apple Genius team and told them my hard drive cable wasn't working. The cost of a new cable with installation is approximately $120 and takes about five to six hours Six days are needed to complete the project. I bought this cable from Amazon since I didn't want to wait so long and to save a little money. The kit arrived in two days, I watched a five-minute video on YouTube to ensure I knew how to replace the cable, and it took me just over five minutes to install. My computer worked perfectly when I started it up and the circle with a line through disappeared. Furthermore, my pocket was full of $100. If I were to recommend his product to friends, I would.

Yes, indeed it was a problem
5/5

The difference between the two is immense. The SATA cable on the MBP drive might be the problem if it is acting really flaky. Despite my frustration, I decided to switch to an SSD after struggling with the problem for days. The OS could not be installed or the machine would not boot. I was able to connect to the USB drive without any problems. I could tell it was a whole new computer once I replaced the cable. The full 6Gb speed is included as well. The hope is that this one will hold up unlike some of those who seem to change theirs like socks every couple of months.

Has your " been fixed? There is a problem with folders in the PDF
5/5

According to the tech person, either my hard drive or the hard drive cable was to blame for my problem. There is no other easy, inexpensive fix like this. In spite of the fact that I do not possess any computer experience, I was able to replace the part myself. To make the video myself, I followed a step-by-step video I found on YouTube, and it took me 20 minutes. Is that why I no longer have that "?" feeling? I solved the folder problem by writing "into the folder and my computer was able to recognize my disk and actually begin working again. I saw a lot of reviews that stated the only problem with it was that it comes straight, as opposed to bent in the way it needs to be. It is not difficult to bend the cable. Less than 30 seconds were required to bend it. The only negative was I was worried I would have to buy adhesive tape separately, but it comes with adhesive already attached to the pieces that need it, so I did not need to purchase any extra adhesive. I couldn't be more pleased I purchased it for a great price and received the results I had hoped Happy to have found this!.

Take advantage of our upgrade offer today! In my mid-20s, I had trouble keeping up with my overall speed An Apple MacBook Pro 2012 is shown
5/5

As of the last couple of years, it has slowed down so badly that I have experienced hours of frustrated frustration trying to do simple things like find a document in Finder or launch Messages. Put away your photos and don't bother looking through them. As time went on, the upgrade to 8GB of RAM sped up things for a while, but the system regressed back to its tortoise-like speed after a while. Caches have been cleared, and I have stopped using high CPU power Instead of using large web pages like Facebook or Instagram, use apps like Spotify. How can this be? Wouldn't something be able to be done about this? . . . and here is the result! The problem is with older Macs, and I read about it while I was on the brink of buying an SSD, so I ordered it, installed it with the help of a YouTube video, and it worked as described. A loud bang! The speed of light for all of your needs, from accessing your local files to syncing your desktop A cloud storage solution was used to store files The ways we store photos to how we open apps to the way we browse the web. Using automatic translation I have not noticed a lot of lag in correct. Finder now allows me to search for things without the regret and despair of a twirling rainbow windmill. In addition, my iPhone links to my laptop so that what I am doing on it immediately shows up My life is a whole new day now, and I can't recommend this update repair enough! The SSD I'll end up getting will be faster. This is supposed to bring you up to date and, with the amount of web development I do, it's an essential upgrade for the modern age.
