Is there anything like the Crucial 128 GB SSD available as a drive module for the current Mac Pro?
I currently have two 1 TB SATA drives and would love to add a solid state drive for the OS.
been a lurker on the forums here for some time but never posted. I currently have a 24'' iMac and today just picked up the base 13'' MBP. Just ordered 4GB Crucial Memory and a WD Scorpia 500GB drive, 2 day shipping at NewEgg .

It wants me to reboot for Safari update, but I refuse. As of 8:42am PST, March 16, 2010:I guess currently I have the longest uptime of anyone in this thread!

I'm about to order a 13" MacBook Pro. I'm undecided as to get the Apple 128GB SSD or the Crucial 128GB SSD. The cost is the same for me. Any opinions? Anyone got the Crucial?

I'd like to upgrade my 2.8ghz iMac from the standard 2gbs to 4gbs. I can get crucial ram for �65.79 and corsair for �55.90. I've heard that corsair has a very good reputation for desktop ram but don't know if this transfers over to laptop ram. Is there any reason why I would go for the crucial memory? Also, does anyone else know of any other brands I should look out for in the UK?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAre there any downfalls if I install one 2GB RAM (Crucial) with the one that came with the Mac Mini (early 2009)?
Because I heard that if I use 4GB, I only get like 3.3GB.
So instead of spending $70 for 2/2GB, I should just get a single 2GB and install it with the regular one that the Mini came with.
Any problems with doing this?

Just received my crucial m225 256 GB and installed it today. Let me tell you, it's amazingly fast. Came with updated firmware so I didn't have to do anything. The firmware has Garbage Collection which will do its own garbage collection when the system is idle so there is no need for manually trimming it yourself. This is great for MACs since it doesn't support trim ANYWAYS. I used super duper! to make a carbon copy of my old hard drive and I was set. I just installed windows and I've never seen windows install so quick. It took the normal time to expand the files due to the CD rom speed but once that was done, the install was basically done. I was doing HW and I looked up and the system was already restarting.

So I've read about how bootcamp isn't working on some SSD manufacturers. People will partition the SSD ok and install Windows but upon boot they get stuck on the gray screen forever. Windows won't boot.
I'm curious if anyone who has a Crucial M225 SSD installed in their 2010 MBP (maybe late 2009) have tried installing Windows via Bootcamp with success.
If you have then instead of going the route of using Apple's SSD I'm going to get a 256GB Crucial M225 as they are cheaper and I know it has garbage collection which is a must for me.
I would like to get some feedback on these two ssd drives.
I own a MBP 13' late 2010 and I would like to upgrade to an ssd
I'm considering two drives:
Intel x-25m 160Gb
Crucial c300 128Gb
So I just started using Time Machine (had been using CCC). A quick scan of my backup shows that it's not backing up my Outlook email database file. This missing file is very concerning to me. First of all, this is one of my most important files, needless to say. But also, it makes me wonder, what other important files might Time Machine be deciding to skip without my knowledge. I went into my Time Machine preferences and have no exclusions in there

I plan on buying more ram soon. my mac pro 2010 quad 2.8 came with 1066 ram but I am buying 1333 ram (hex core in future) 4GB models. I know that my new ram will be reduced to 1066 but will the new ram be able to coexist with the old 1GB modules?

I installed 8 x 4Gb RAM in my Mac Pro (2.2.4GHz Quad-core Intel xeon). When I check, slot 8 shows up as empty and that I only have 28 Gb of RAm and not 32. Can I leave things alone and run it on 28Gb of RAM or should I remove the defective module in slot 8 as well as the RAM in Slot 4 to balance it? Alternatively I have 2 x 1 Gb RAm modules I could put in slot 4 and 8.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I installed it, system profiler keeps saying it's 256. I have a 128 and 2 64's in there. In the 4th slot I put the 512. I tried just putting it in (to make just 512) and it still said.
What is weird is that when it only had the 512 stick in there, it seemed faster then with just the other 3 sticks. Is it just saying the wrong number?

Just thinking down the road, so please bear with me. Regarding adding a HD and possibly ram at a later date. I have a couple questions...1.) If adding or replacing in the first year, will that void your warranty??2.) How is the ram module configured on a MacBook pro?? If it cam with 4 GB then can I just add a 4 GB card or do you have to get a straight 8 GB card??3.) If upgrading to a bigger HD, can you just do a backup restore or do you have to totally reinstall from the scratch??
