You might be able to get a few extra years out of it if you can live
without running the latest version of the mac operating system.

So far, I’m very impressed at how fast apps load! I think it is worth
it. I replaced the 500GB 7200 rpm hd with a 750 SSD. They gave me back
the old hard drive. It is in a static proof bag. I put it in a drawer,
just in case I ever needed it. It appears they restored al my data for
me. Hoping to get a couple of years more out of this machine. This is
the longest I’ve ever owned any laptop. I’m quite happy.

I'm also looking at updating a hard drive and battery in a mac book pro
2011, the battery price alone here in NZ is more than you paid for your
ssd and battery or at least the work done price.
With 16 gig of ram in the machine it should give the owner / user
another couple of years and once finished with gives me an ssd that I
can use in an external drive case.

I think the upgrade was well worth it! It was much cheaper than buying
a new one, and If I can get another year oth of it then great!

I've thought about upgrading to an SSD for my 2010 macbook, but I
probably won't for a couple reasons. First, apparently upgrading the
firmware on SSD drives that are not provided by Apple is next to
impossible with mac OS, Apple does not provide the low level access to
the hardware that developers would need to do this. Second, I can't say
for sure, but I'm guessing that Sierra may be the last operating system
that will work with this mac, which means I would be upgrading next
year to a new laptop next year, probably a macbook air, so I may not
have this macbook long enough to make it worth the upgrade. The SSD
drives are awesome though, my girl friend's macbook pro literally boots
in about 5 seconds.

Hi guys:
Well, I finally received my Mac Batttery and 750GB SSD. Took it to the
authorized Apple repair center and I am quite pleased. All I had to do
was turn on voiceover. All data had been restored for me. The SSD is
way faster! I’m quite pleased. They even replaced the bottom case that
had all the tabs worn off. Looks brand new. Not bad for $150 worth of work.
