I had replaced my HDD with an SSD and then successfully transferred the applications from the HDD to the new installed SSD.
Previously I have ‘wine‘ to run Windows emulation programs and ‘minicom‘ to run serial communications which were both installed via MacPorts. It seems that the MacPorts applications were not transferred by using Apple Migration Assistant app. So I need to re-install those MacPort-based programs.
In a previous post, I have posted that my MacBook Pro 320 GB Hitachi HDD (hard disk drive) was replaced to 128GB Hynix SSD (solid state drive).
There are a few things that you need to do after replacing a disk / storage in Mac OS X. Remember that your current HDD with plenty / full of applications and data will be replaced with an empty disk. First step we have to install the new disk with an OS X (Mountain Lion), and then the next step is we have to transfer / import / migrate user accounts, applications and stored data / documents in the HDD to the new SSD.
You can buy and download the OS X Mountain Lion from App Store to upgrade your older Mac OS X version. Once it is downloaded, do not continue with the installation step because it will delete the installer file. Skip the step by pressing Quit button.
Copy the ‘Install OS X Mountain Lion’ installer app located in Applications folder to another folder elsewhere because the installer app in the Applications folder will be automatically deleted after upgrading.
I have a 13-inch MacBook Pro early 2011 which has 4 GB of RAM and 320 GB of HDD storage. Everything was fine until once time when I run virtualisation and coding using Eclipse, the macbook pro run very slow. It took around 62 seconds to boot and ran virtual machine very slowly. I need to increase the performance of my macbook because I can’t deal with this condition.
After reading in several Mac forums, someone told me to upgrade both RAM and the hard drive. The RAM should be upgraded to at least 8 GB and the hard drive should be replaced with an SSD (Solid State Disk). Although the price is much more expensive than the HDD, the SSD offers four times faster than HDD in the read/write speed.
Are you a network administrator who usually use ATEN UC-232A USB-to-Serial converter to console networks equipments such as Cisco routers, Catalyst switches and more? If you use Windows platform (XP, Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8) it will not be a problem. You just need to download the Windows driver from Aten website, install it and then plug the converter in to a USB port and it works. In most cases, I don’t even need to install the driver on Windows 7 or Windows 8. The driver already installed during Windows 7/8 installation.
