Not sure what I'll do yet, but the suggestions are helpful.
SSD FOR MACBOOK PRO MID 2010 UPGRADE
Thanks to all those who responded! I do still use my SuperDrive, so the dual drive doesn't work easily for me, but it still seems that the SSD upgrade makes sense. Currently, the 960 GB drive is $472 while the 1TB one is $399 why is the larger one cheaper? Which of these 3 would be best for intensive media production? If this IS a smart move, what SSD should I use? Here are the ones I think I'm deciding amongst: Crucial MX100 512GB SATA 6Gb/s 2.5" Internal SSD, Crucial M500 960GB 2.5-inch Internal SSD, or Crucial BX100 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 2.5" Internal SSD.
SSD FOR MACBOOK PRO MID 2010 TV
In fact, the only thing I DON'T like about it is its slowness and the fact that I can't stream to my Apple TV without an app (I use AirParrot, which works okay but not great).
First off, is this a worthwhile thing to do? Does it make sense to do it on such an old machine? It would cost about $300-$500, which is far less than buying a new computer, but am I just pouring money into a dying beast? I know that new Macs have less flexibility regarding upgradability, so that is something in favor of my old model. Here is my question: I'm seriously considering replacing the internal hard drive for an SSD with either the same or more storage capacity, and upgrading my RAM to 8 GB. I have considered either moving my overly large (240 GB) iTunes library or running Garageband and Logic Express from the firewire drive, but haven't done this yet. I have a 500 GB external USB drive, and a 1 TB external firewire drive, and I use both of these for time machine and extra backing up. I like to have multiple applications running simultaneously, and for this it has not been great. I've used iMovie with only a little freezing, and Garageband and Logic Express, with less reliable results. I bought it to do music and video production, and it has mostly worked fine. I have a mid-2010 Macbook Pro 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 that currently has 4 GB of RAM and the preinstalled 500 GB hard drive, running Mavericks.
