Installing an Intel X25-M SSD in a 15-inch Macbook Pro 2010
- jolan 17y agoShould also flash the firmware since it rarely if ever ships with the latest version.
- jacquesm 17y agoEvery link on that page is an affiliate link for a product from amazon, even the screwdrivers used. And if you can't even install a drive in your computer without instructions why are you reading HN...
- jolan 17y agoI guess he's trying to save up for the 160GB model :)
- colonhyphenp 17y agoHa, got that right !
- jacquesm 17y agoJust out of curiosity, how much do you make on writing an article like that and stuffing it with links?
- colonhyphenp 17y agoI doubt I'll make anything. I honestly just posted the article to show how easy it is to upgrade the MBP hard drive. It's my first time messing with Amazon Affiliates, and blogspot has a nice plug-in that makes it really easy to go amazon-link-happy.
- jacquesm 17y agoAh, that explains a lot. I was wondering why quite a few blogspot articles have amazon links in them. The problem is that it becomes very hard to see the difference between borderline spam and genuine articles. That's also how you got those tor-x links in there, I actually figured that was proof positive it was a spam article, because who would go out of their way to link an affiliate code to a bunch of tools they used. I'll 'unflag' the article. Thanks for the explanation!
- colonhyphenp 17y agoInteresting. I didn't realize amazon affiliate links carried such a negative connotation. I'll definitely keep that in mind for future posts and remove a few of the affiliate links from this post.
- jacquesm 17y agoDon't worry about it, it's a pet peeve of mine :)
