So, I took a road trip with my laptop and next time I was using my laptop I noticed it was freezing up and later noticed that some screenshots I took were messed up and a lot of images movies apps and documents were all corrupt.... So I'm guessing the hard drive got scratched somehow... After cleaning things best I could it has been running fine for a couple weeks but now I'm hearing clicking and other strange sounds near where the hard drive is...
So anyway to my question about storage..... I have been reading guides on upgrading to an SSD but they are all kinda confusing/vague... So I'm looking at http://a.co/1GaRz9b ...
1) Will I just be able to screw that hard drive into the bracket that the current hard drive is in?
2) Is that SSD the right size to fit (2.75 x 3.96 x 0.28 in. (69.95 x 100.50 x 7.00 mm) )?
3) If I just want to do a fresh OS install can I just replace the hard drive and go into OS X recovery or do I still need to prep the drive while still using the old hard drive...?
Its a mid 2012 13' MacBook Pro If that's needed...
And I guess if anyone wants to suggest a better SSD if they know of a better one at ≤$60...
