I love the catch line Don't hate me but … Samsung SSD’s are still supporting SATA I, II I/O interfaces. I haven’t found any other. Crucial has never publicly stated if they support the slower I/O speeds with the MX500 SSD’s. I tried getting sometime in writing from them years ago. All they would do is tell me it will work but nothing on paper. Here’s the history of the Crucial SSD’s More Than a Decade of Crucial SSD Evolution

Thanks @kristen We now need to monitor USB-C ports to either diagnose the power supplies or the system.

Most are plastic with a coating of silicone rubber applied to give it a nonslip surface. The older rubber only designs tended to fail as well. The adhesive interface to the case would breakdown.

While you can’t order from the US Store, you can order from the Australia iFixit Store! If you need a battery which is not available from Australia store drop a note to the support comment/email they maybe able to still get it for you.

@nick - iFixit only sells the newer version. Newer version Older version don’t use! The numbers 821-1480-A & 821-2049-A are the manufactures P/N’s not Apples P/N’s! Here’s all of the versions of 2012 HD cable & bracket - 923-00975, 604-07597, 821-00698, 923-0741, 821-2049, 923-0104, 821-1480-A

@mayer - The biggest piece of news which was expected is the new Mac Pro. All I can say is… WOW!! It’s in the clouds not only on what it can do but the cost as well! Now the ultra high end is served with this beast, will Apple come out with something more “For the Rest of Us”? The display likewise is quite amazing too! But again a coder or even a low end photographer doesn’t need this level of performance. Yes, I love the size… And no I won’t buy a $999 stand for it. I too was laughing when she dropped the price for what it is it shouldn’t have been more than $300 and gold plated! All it is is the old G5 Luxor arm redone to support the added weight of this display.

@mayer - What an amazing feat! 600k is just a mind blower! Congrats! So @oldturkey03 - When will you tip the scales? Only ~ 20k to go!

Both serve different audiences! Just like doctors who need to understand how the full body ticks before specializing in a given discipline. People who are just trying to understand the basics is what iFixit covers. Yes, we also dabble in basic electronics, we just don’t get into the deep brain surgery Louis gets into. You will find us often point people to Louis’s site when people are looking for a deeper understanding of the logic and how to troubleshoot at that level.

Just turn it over spray some Pam on it and you have a nice grill :-}

@jogihara I never understood this sharks head But I’m sure it can make mince meat out of these abusers ;-} 2785390 926137 1351149 1495359
