Yea, my 2012 is going strong.

I've been meaning to put a ssd in it, but procrastinating.

Love the screws Apple.

I strongly recommend this if you can install it. I did it for my tech-illiterate partner for his 2014ish MBP, installed 1/2 TB SDD. It is snappy than before and the FaceTime finally works on his MBP. Before then, his MBP will not get the FT call notification until the last ringing and then it will send the notification but it is too late. I am not sure how spinning rust have a impact on FT from loading. He is not screen recording or anything, it just will struggle so hard to load FT and often failed on spinning rust. Now on SDD, it load normally without issue. Strange behavior. I tried to find info about this but I couldn't find any information about this. Looks like it is one-off deal thing.
SSDs are relatively cheap right now. I upgraded my 2009 mbp with one and it was definitely worth it.
