Maybe it's the sense of pride from upgrading it, or maybe that I have a fraction of the cost invested into it that compared to what I paid for the 2014 MBP as new in the box, but what it boils down to is that this computer outperforms most computers sold off the shelves even today. So now I have an SSD-powered MBP beast with 16 gigs of RAM, and to tell the truth, I'm happier with this machine than I was with the 2014 Retina model. The data doubler fit perfectly and the Knight RAM is spectacular.

Boot times are PHENOMENAL!!! Both on the OS X and Windows side (I do have bootcamp installed with Windows 7 to play SWTOR). WHAT AN AMAZING MACHINE THIS THING IS!!!! I couldn't believe the latency (or should I say the lack of). I started playing around with it and I was compltely blown away. Next, I installed El Capitan, booted into the OS and immediately enabled TRIM.
I put the SSD in the main drive spot, and put the old 500GB HDD in the data doubler for added storage. First I formatted my new SSD via USB, and then took the back off the MBP and started the upgrades. All that said, I was very skeptical about the Knight RAM, and was worried about the generic data doubler fitting properly.

After requesting the 840 Pro Samsung drive at Best Buy, because the 2011 13" only supports a max of 3GBps, not the 6GBps data transfer rate that the 850 EVO sports, the associate price matched it for me and I got my 250GB SSD for $90. After extensive research and shopping on eBay, I also went with Knight RAM ($65.99 for 2 8GB sticks). I couldn't justify spending nearly $40 on a data doubler from OWC when devices that looked the same were readily available on eBay for a fraction of that ($10), not to mention the generic version is much more sturdily constructed. Let me first say that I was doing this on an extreme budget. After a little Googling, I went to Best Buy and snagged a Samsung EVO 850 250GB SSD, looked around on eBay and got a generic (not OWC) data doubler and purchased 2 sticks of 1067GHz 8GB RAM also from eBay. About a month ago, I ran into a heck of a deal on a 2011 13" MBP ($100!!!). As bad things happen from time to time, that machine and I were separated. I had a 13" Retina MBP, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Intel Iris Graphics.yada yada yada. Just adding my two cents on this subject. And yes once set up properly with a new Samsung SSD your laptop is a jet! Hope this helps, cheers. Reboot normally (with Ext HD unplugged), open terminal and enable TRIM using 'sudo trimforce enable', then check that it was enabled in 'About this Mac'>'System Report'>'SATA/SATA Express, and check 'Trim Support', it needs to say 'yes'. And press restore, accept to erase data on Samsung SSD and wait until the transfer is done. The source should be your image HD, then click and slide the new partition on the Samsung SSD named 'Mac HD' to the destination box. Now select the image HD on your External HD, and click restore. Once formated, you'll see a new disk partition underneath the first Samsung SSD with the new name. Third time's the charm, rebooted pressing 'command + R' with my Ext HD plugged in, this time choose the disk utility option, you'll see the Samsung SSD, select it, choose erase, then format the SSD to MacOS (journaled), call it whatever you want (Mac HD). I rebooted again this time with the Ext HD unplugged, and the ? folder appeared, confirming the Samsung SSD could not be read.
Then rebooted again, and I a message saying the new disk could not be read appear (My Ext HD was still plugged in and the reboot performed on that disk instead of the Samsung SSD). I installed the Samsung SSD, rebooted holding 'command + R', and chose the restore using Time Machine option. I backed up my MacBook pro HD with Time machine on an external HD and created an HD image on a formated partition of the same External HD.

I wanted to upgrade with the Samsung V-nand SSD 850 EVO (1TB). Thought I would add my two cents here, in case it can help others: I have a MacBook pro (13 inch, mid2012) 2.9Ghz Intel Core i7.
