I have Q's about installing Mavericks after SSD upgrade & prepping
Hi all,
Im not sure if this has been answered elsewhere, but here goes.
I'm just replacing my MBP 15" HD that has failed, with a slightly larger Samsung SSD.
I'm going to do a clean install of Mavericks, which I have done before on the HD I'm replacing.
I know there is some disagreement as to whether or not you should format an SSD. I use them in my PCs that I build, but never before in my Mac?
Can someone advise me as to what I should to to make sure I do this correctly?
Thank you for any help you can give.
Dave
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

Dave, Stop. First tell us the last four figures of your serial number so we know your exact machine. I want you to do this before doing anything else as you could destroy the new drive.

Agreed! Hold off doing anything. Sometimes the simplest job ends up being bigger than what you expected!

Thank you for your replies. I have a 2007 A1226 15" MacBook Pro, running Intel. Serial # is W8739AD8X91 Intended SSD is a new Samsung 250gb 850 EVO. Possibly considering the 500gb instead, but nothing firm yet. Both spec to fit in the space, height-wise.
