Sep 23, 2014 - This mac was mid 2009 and will not boot from the Internet. My Macbook Pro (MP) drive onto the new blank HDD I had bought for the Mac.

I am currently running 10.6.8 and wanted to purchase the newest OS possible to install. I've read of a few issues of ML and the battery drain issues. Is it best to just stay with my 10.6.8 for now? I also purchased an 8gb ram upgrade over the current 4gb ram to do at the same time.

Don't I have to reset something once I power the MBP back up to recognize the ram? I purchased an external case to put the (currently in the computer) hdd in once I take it out. I planned on installing the ssd, putting the current hdd in the case, and migrating only my contacts, iTunes library, iPhoto library, and my flip videos from it. I have the original install disc from my MBP-can't I just install it onto the ssd from the DVD drive? (I hear of people installing the OS from USB-is there any disadvantage/advantage to this over my install disc?).

I'm just wondering if it will give me the option of installing from the DVD drive once the ssd is installed and blank.?? Is there anything else I should consider migrating to my new ssd? I think that's it. This maybe too late, but here it goes: 1.

Do I upgrade/downgrade efi? - do not mess about with that. I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro and am running 2x SSD drives inside without a problem.

Only look in to EFI upgrading if the Negotiated Link Speed in System Information (Under Sata) is not reported as 3 Gigabit but rather as 1.5, once you install the SSD 2. Do I enable/disable trim? (Read in other discussions) - some people report advantage from trim being enabled. I've personally noticed lockups during shutdown so keep it off. Typical SSD these days have grabage collection, but it is up to you in the end of the day. I am currently running 10.6.8 and wanted to purchase the newest OS possible to install.

- don't purchase anything and download Mavericks for free, battery life will improve 4. I also purchased an 8gb ram upgrade over the current 4gb ram to do at the same time. Don't I have to reset something once I power the MBP back up to recognize the ram?

- the mac will recognise the ram anyway. You should however rest SMC see: 5. I purchased an external case to put the (currently in the computer) hdd in once I take it out.

Is there anything else I should consider migrating to my new ssd? - depending on your previous HDD size (and file sizes - looks like you have lots of photos and videos), make sure you watch what files you are bringing over as you can quickly run out of space on the SSD. You can use OmniDiskSweeper for example, to tell you wat files on your disk use the most space etc. Hope this helps.
