This video shows the RAM upgrade (very easy to do):Īs a generic response, I'd say more RAM makes sense for most people out there. That will tell you whether or not you need more RAM. Just use the machine as always for one day, with Activity Monitor being open in the background. It is not useful to close all programs you usually use and then open Activity Monitor, as in this case the numbers being displayed there don't reflect your real memory needs. Make sure that you have Activity Monitor open while doing the stuff you do everyday. If you use gigabytes of Cache and Swap, more RAM would be a good idea. At the bottom of the window, you will find "Cache" and "Swap" being mentioned. You can check whether or not you need 16 GB RAM by opening Activity Monitor (a program that is preinstalled on your Mac). Are you a heavy multitasker? Are you the type of user that has a high number of tabs open in your browser (browsers like Google Chrome have a very high memory usage)? If so, then 16 GB RAM are definitely worth it. Here are some examples of RAM modules that work flawlessly in your machine: You need RAM that matches the following specification: The Amazon reviews of the RAM modules I've linked to in the following further prove it. It has been proven time and again that your machine can actually run up to 16 GB RAM.

They never bothered to update the info and reflect the actual maximum RAM capacity the machine supports. You might find information online that your machine supposedly only supports 8 GB RAM (2 x 4 GB RAM modules), but this is outdated information! 8 GB RAM modules were not commonly available back in 2012, so Apple could only test with 2 x 4 GB RAM = 8 GB RAM. A higher total amount than 16 GB RAM won't work due to a limitation in the logic board. It has two RAM slots, meaning two RAM modules in total will fit in. The MacBook Pro mid-2012 supports up to 16 GB RAM (2 x 8 GB RAM modules). That being said, your machine could still profit from having more RAM installed. Seems like an OK amount already, I thought you just had the default 4 GB RAM installed, in which case the RAM might impact performance in a very negative way. I already have 8GB of ram, is it enough or no ? If you want details, I'll be sure to provide them. That will also help the performance of your device.
PS: You should also consider a RAM upgrade, if you haven't performed one already. Here is how you perform an Internet Recovery: You can then reinstall macOS via Internet Recovery, and restore the machine from the Time Machine backup afterwards (you will be asked if you want to restore from a Time Machine backup during the installation). I recommend that you create a Time Machine backup of your current HDD to some external drive before. The installation is incredibly easy to do, here is a video:

Here are some very well rated SSD models that should work flawlessly in your machine:Īnd should I install it myself or let a professional do it ? Any internal 2.5" SATA SSD I know of can take an extreme number of write cycles, and every 2.5" SATA SSD I know of is likely to outlive the MacBook Pro 2012 machine itself, meaning some other component of the machine itself will likely break down before the SSD does. Honestly, it doesn't really matter which SSD you choose. This comment explains the difference well: The Samsung 560 PRO for example can take double the write cycles of the Samsung 560 EVO. The only real difference between them is durability. They all reach about 550 MB/s read speeds and about 520 MB/s write speeds. One thing you should know is that there are almost no speed differences between internal 2.5" SATA SSDs anymore.
