Now down in price due to a new version, faster version that again would not better the speed I would see. Another point I found is I could not find anything bigger than 160GB, I wanted something bigger than this. Good reports about speed, I find this speed reports a little misleading as it all depends on what article you read, the extra price for the speed boost would not work well for me as I have the 2010 Pro, it does not have SATA 3. Has sleep and hibernation issues on some macs.Īgain very good reports, slightly cheaper than the OWC drive, the main thing a read is that for some the drives just does not work, I dont really want to have the problems this may bring.

Very good reviews on speed and reliability, slightly more expensive and based in the USA. Here is a list of drives/manufactures I was looking at: The 1st big decision is what drive you want, there are pro’s and con’s to everyone, unless you go with the SSD you can buy from Apple (and please dont, expensive and slow) you may or may not have problems. If you are reading this post you will have started looking in to this and i’m sure you have been looking in to it for some time, there are loads on the market and i’m sure you have read forum posts saying “just wait a week as a new one is coming out”, you would never get anything if you just put things off. So I decided this would be the best thing to speed up the whole system, OWC have some great videos that helped in this decision With this 4 way speed test

The whole SSD idea was planted by a friend who bought a MacBook air, I was at work coping a file over and it took ages to copy of my MacBook pro but seconds to get it on his MacBook air, after this we ran a few speed tests, much to his joy as a 1.6 Core 2 Duo ran faster than my Pro i7, this simple afternoon at work showed me the HDD is not only a bottle neck but the biggest bottle neck of the entire system. I have had my MacBook pro for a few years now, I used to be a pc user and did the whole building and modding computers, I loved the move to apple and would never go back to a Windows world.
