I found people saying they'd successfully used the Intels (and well most brands actually). Personally I looked around for info on the most reliable SSDs rather than the fastest. It worked for me, and it's TRIM compatible but you need to use TRIM Enabler or similar to turn it on. The performance difference (compared to stock 500GB HDD) was amazing.
SSD FOR MACBOOK PRO MID 2010 SERIES
But it should run quieter and faster.I put an Intel 330 series SSD in my mid-2010 MBP. This is a SATA-2 machine, so you don’t need a super fast SSD (3Gbps is what it can sustain). Main issue is high idle power consumption. Anandtechs latest benchmarks which check for both performance consistency and it is very fast. The Seagate Momentum XT has the same approach, these are cheaper but slower than an all flash SSD for a custom OEM product.
This is a hard disk with a small amount of flash.
SSD FOR MACBOOK PRO MID 2010 WINDOWS 8
Crucial m500.This supports encryption on Windows 8 (yawn :-0).But a quick review of current SSDs from Anandtech shows that there are simple SSDs and then the new class of hybrid drives with an SSD cache and then a big hard disk called SSHD So most of the time one big SSD is better than two small ones in rAID-0Ī good value oriented drive would be: There are lots of strange technical things to know about (like TRIM and the fact they get slower as they get fragmented and you need to worry about write-leveling). Although Tomshardware has shown that for most workstation scenarios you can’t get enough reads to actually use this extra bandwidth unless you have high queue deaths. We put two Samsung 840 in a RAID-0 configuration at 1Gbps which is pretty cool and that machine is wicked fast with 6Gbps and an overocked Core i5. The second use has been a very fast drive for a home brew PC. Get a value oriented previous generation one instead. And that in real world startup apps benchmarks they are 2x faster than the fastest hard drive regardless of Sata speed. Also turns out not surprisingly that random access is 20-50x faster than a hard drive regardless of 3 or 6 GBps. So there isn’t any need to get the latest high performance SSD. Read another way a very ordinary SSD can saturate an older machines. With a high speed 10k Raptor it can do 210MBps in sequential reads and writes. On their benchmark in a 6GBps Sata 3 machine you get to the wire limit of 450-522 MBps while you get 250-260GBps on Sata 2. They put an 840 Pro into an older machine. Tom’s Hardware did a good analysis of this. The Crucial m4 and Samsung 830 have been great. Worked really well to put a budget SSD into a older Macbook from 2009. In our other machines the hard disk was just slow it wasn’t about throughout but just about less disk thrashing. One big question is how well will an SSD work in an older machine at just 3GBps.
In terms of SSDs, I’ve been buying them pretty steadily for a year and the technological advances are mind boggling. Put them on your SSD and put it all back together!.
