Are these decent upgrade parts for my 2010 13"?


hi all. had thread going pros , cons of upgrading mid 2010 mbp 13" , got lot of advice on there. kinda died out though , i've figured out parts think i'm going , wanted run them everybody. opted 120gb ssd because apps folder 10gb (on note, why people suggest putting apps on ssd?)

wasn't sure batteries people 1 seems popular enough? also, need buy mount ssd in obtibay?

i have no comment on battery third party ones have ever bought went because crap. can never go wrong crucial memory, , 8gb take care of while. 120gb, imo, isn't enough ssd, thats because video editing , need have plenty scratch space. samsung ssds pretty good, see deals crucial has on mx100 ssds. not more , i'm more apt trust crucial since have been making memory chips decades.

why people put app folder on ssd, because in day ssds expensive hell (i paid $300-$400 first 128gb ssd apple in 2011). trick create symbolic link home folder , store on spinning drive connected system. since ssds cheaper were, best put data on them. less susceptible damage hdds , faster. go mac , see how storage using on hdd in total , buy ssd accordingly.

typically, recommend putting ssd in main hdd space next battery speed, wouldn't make difference in machine since both ports sata ii. typically recommend , buy owc data doubler. have used them in multiple machines , have yet have 1 fail on me. includes hardware , instructions need. click here view on owc's website.

lastly, check out b&h photo's pricing. typically same or cheaper amazon, have free shipping , don't charge tax of (the exception new york state last checked).

luck! i'll try as can, quote post alerted.
