Anyone got any recommendations for SSDs for a MBP? Should I wait a few months for one of the new ones?
I've got a 80GB SSD in my MBP, but it's feeling a little small.
The whole TRIM / garbage collection stuff got me feeling confused.
- ComputerGuru 16y agoC300 by Crucial. I upgraded my 13" MBP with it a few months back (6? 8?) and it's unbelievable. They say OS X doesn't need TRIM, but I don't really believe that. Another option if you don't use your optical drive is to install a normal 2.5" HD instead over there for not-oft-used data.
- evgen 16y agoDefinitely concur on this. A C300 in the standard drive bay and a seagate momentus xt in the optibay is a wonderful combination (or a second ssd if you are really trying to pimp your ride...)
- grk 16y agoBe careful - the shock protection for disks works only in the normal HDD bay - put your SSD in optibay, not your HDD.
- CognitiveLens 16y agoI've read that putting your OS disk in the optibay can cause major problems with resuming from sleep - has this been fixed, or do you just set it to "shut down when lid is closed"?
- robgough 16y agoI recently upgraded my MBP 5,1 from a WDC Black to an OCZ Vertex 2E and I'm really impressed. My XBench stats aren't as high as other people with the same drive, but I'm more than happy w/ it.
