Mac Pro Upgrade: 60 GB Solid State Drive (SSD)

[xPUR3AcIDx]

lol i cant stop laughing on how shitty mac computers are... the OS is fine i dual boot it with windows...but macs are total shit. btw bro what are doing a tutorial on installing a SSD...it pretty much common sence...

[comelizer]

11:06 just for replace SSD? to much talk -_-

[heartSLB]

It is the stomach of he system

[simsandthings123]

ur t-shirt is SUPER annoying. i do: Windows xp Windows 7 OS X Lion ISO 5

and im perfectly happy!

[retromelon123]

i love macs... but GRRRRRR your t-shirt annoys me so much...

[40ozDiRtYHaRrY40oz]

so a ssd is bascly a big flashdrive ?

[bernardopkmDP178]

@40ozDiRtYHaRrY40oz Internally, yes.

[PoKeR123484]

you can afford a mac pro but not a apple thunderbolt display? or a bigger ssd? like 120gb?

[Armaangandevia1]

@PoKeR123484 he got his mac pro from his parents

and he has a 30" screen from apple 

[AntiD2]

I don't know if you saw, but a cheaper solution, of course less speed than a true SSD but they sell hybrid hard drives now, which are about the same price as a regular HDD

[40ozDiRtYHaRrY40oz]

u dont need that 3.5 converter noob

[Armaangandevia1]

@40ozDiRtYHaRrY40oz you do retard otherwise it could rip the sata port of the mobo

[mrAlex40k]

you sound like steve-o of jackass!!! :D

[marioKID99]

I like your angry birds wrist band. Where did u get it

[michaelconsidineshow]

What bluetooth adapter do you use for your mac pro?

[mrelclark94]

I've always wanted to empty out a Mac Pro casing and build a gaming PC with it, like put my own motherboard and graphics card and such in it. Wouldn't that be legit as hell?

[huliganen53]

@mrelclark94 Holy shit man....That would be AWESOME!

[solidsnake1211]

I love your videos, but I hate the fact you're an Apple fanboy -_-

[will252]

nice shirt

[djdavedoc]

Awesome Video. This plus some advice from a friend helped me decide to install a SSD in my Hackintosh!

[crashbandicoot4everr]

imac g3?

[Makowich]

Love your t-shirt man.

[supersamster911]

Love the ending lol... 2.5 3.....

[stevesretrocomputing]

Where did you get that shirt?

[mcgrath9]

great , an SSD so small that you wont even be able to use its speed in anything other than running Kiddy Kat operating system, how much slow ram is in thet bad boy 2 or 4 gb. LOL video editor

how can apple sell this crap day after day. Half the speed . Twice the price

[RamiRiefert]

I like your T-Shirt. Were did you buy it?

[JOHNNYSschool]

i like your reviews but wow such a small monitor...... really even i have a apple 30 in

[Anthman46]

Hey David, is a Mac Mini 1.1 worth 300$?

[MrGHLover107]

can you tell me where you got that shirt

[187omg]

@MegaDehumanizer Oh, okay. Thanks!

[187omg]

Hi. Can you briefly explain what an SSD is? I'm kinda' confused.

[Johno530]

Do you feel that 60 gb ssd was big enough for all your applications? Im planning to purchase a 120 and splitting it in two for windows and osx.

[Azazelwalk]

The processor is the brain... The OS is the consciousness...

Nice machine and vid Cheers

[TheSupertom11]

hey just a quick quisetion are you making a Christmas video this year?

[RatePage]

where the hell did u get your shirt? i want it!!!

[F25VS]

Where did you get your shirt? I like to have one!

[hurensohnsBruda]

i am a pc, mac snob

[TalesOfWar]

@hurensohnsBruda Why are you watching a video called "Mac Pro Upgrade" then?

[cnsundai]

i love your t-shirt too

[deviouscola]

Dam do you really need 11:06 for this video? Seriously?

[SamueleElettronica]

wiwa windows 7

[benghaith]

Is it necessary to demonstrate in front of a shinny window!!!!!!

[SasanMusicTV]

i love your t-shirt. can you send me one, please?

[MrNando5556]

david do you use a internal drive or external for time machine?

[saxmannanaimo]

windows>mac

[dentunes]

@saxmannanaimo Windows is an operating system. Mac is a computer. That is like saying V8 > BMW.

[Alantgv]

@dentunes

I agree. good analogy.

[HeffernanProductions]

btw, crucial is the best ssd/ram manuf.

[HeffernanProductions]

ugh... you didn't buy a base 2 ssd! it's.....odd.... base 2 ssd's use an even amount of storage chips... 2,4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, etc.

[beavisPDBSK]

buy a mounting bracket extra? My OCZ-SSD came with a mounting bracket...

[TheTechSped]

where did u get your shirt?

[toneboat923]

I want to install one of these myself but I dont understand how you move the os? Was it on a different drive and are you putting it on the SSD? I am a noob with that stuff so I am trying to understand it.

[iToasterman]

@gothicgamer0990 isnt it higher better. not lower? higher = faster...

[iToasterman]

@gothicgamer0990 i use 75 hertz :P

[iToasterman]

@gothicgamer0990 I saved for 1.5 years straight to build this pc, clearly i don't waste money. Thats why almost everything i own has atleast 2 uses ;D btw, i had a netbook, it died :C and get a xbox? there cheaper >_> dont RROD no more (cough ps3 still YLODS cough) and yea.. but seriosly? 42 inches.. For a game console that does hd... your doing it wrong, you need 50 inches if your going to splatter brains, in 3d too :D

[iToasterman]

@gothicgamer0990 Yes and yes, i've been a watcher since the imac g3 upgrades.. Dude, your calling him not ritch because of a ressesion because you don't have money. He has a 42 inch tv (around 1800$ usualy) Mac mini for it ($500+) A power mac ($5000 original?) Cinima display ($800?) Dell / who ever monitor ($300?) and you acting like hes poor. Yea... If you have 2 macs in your room alone, you have ALOT of money.. my pc cost me $250 to build, works AMAZINGLY. plays portal 2 :D

[iToasterman]

@MegaDehumanizer you can copy it... :P theres instructions EVERWERE

[iToasterman]

David. I am stripping you of your geek rank. Any TRUE geek would know to NEVER put a hdd into a PLASTIC bag, but a ANTI STATIC bag MINIMAL

[iToasterman]

Boo. 60 gb.. get a 500gb PCIE one :D u have money if you have that mac :D

[barirdeeee2]

7:20 NOOOO don't put it in a plastic bag (STATIC)

[3674087574175895618]

if you have done 'a lot of research' then why did you go with that POS brand. A good quality brand for an SSD is Intel or OCZ

[tecboy789]

didnt i watch this already?

[OrangeSodaLover]

David, im having trouble installing an SSD and lion on my iMac G3 please respond.

[Foristality]

you bought an unknown ssd brand.

[thecreativeone]

@Foristality OWC Mercury is actually one of the most well known brands to buy.

[stewood1000]

@thecreativeone No, no it is not I've been building PCs for 5 years, and completed about 60 builds, and have only used one of their products. It is certainly not "one of the most well known brands to buy" . you should've gone with a drive such as the Corsair Force 3 90GB SSD. it would've suited you much better than that outdated piece of junk.

[Dreamst8r]

@thecreativeone never even heard of it and I build computers

[Sephiroth32vergil]

@Foristality OWC Mercury is actually one of the top SSDs out there... also has one of, if not the best, customer support in the industry...

[jordog249]

OFF TOPIC: I need a new computer(cheap) this is my last year in school and I need something for this year, next year I'm getting a new laptop for college. Which then i will ditch this computer I'm looking for now, what do you think I should get?

I love macs, but I'm spending less than $350, hackintosh? but on what system

- thanks in advance, Jordog249

[reyjay07]

@gothicgamer0990 haha id say ur family is lucky they dont need a lawnmower to cut the grass because they have an emo u :)

[DXXDgame]

you can just put double sided tape on the ssd and put it anywhere on the chassis

[1972jeepcommando]

[thecreativeone]

@1972jeepcommando Mac Pro using Final Cut Pro X.

[reyjay07]

[EmoticonMayhem]

I'm sure that SSD is fine but personally I would have gone with a bigger and more trustworthy brand like intel if I were buying an SSD, I'd never heard of that brand before watching this video

[Sephiroth32vergil]

@EmoticonMayhem if you research OWC its actually one of the best brands out there... great ssds with even greater customer support..

[reyjay07]

@gothicgamer0990 em not really :L ur 21 and ur acting like my little sisters :L infact they wouldnt put the time into writing that out...

roflmao? how sad...

tá tú castaire fucking agus is gá duit a fháil ar an saol, cad a yank dúr... thats what i think of u.

[wil172921]

[lakerbryan]

@gothicgamber0990 i dont care who started it, and i dont think anyone else does either. just enjoy what david posts, thats what his purpose is to show us a upgrade. not for people to talk bull to one another. let them be.

[lakerbryan]

[chrisparks100]

Like if you like Samsung!!!!

[RockstarGamesHD1]

thumbs up everyone david di franco is hating windows users and insulting people in the comments

[bourney08]

Hey David, you mentioned your Chromebook is running Ubuntu.

What are your thoughts on Linux?

I'm thinking about putting it on my laptop, but I'm not sure about how it will work with the hardware.

[reyjay07]

@gothicgamer0990 i lack common sense says the 21 year old american with little life experience...

yeah ive learnt that idiots like u will aslways comment on vids thats what ruins the internet trolls like u.. sad really.

i know its public and i shud of sent him a mail message but he said in the comments so...

[reyjay07]

@gothicgamer0990 it doesnt matter what i said or how i say it because it was a question ur in the wrong for responding i hope uve learnt a lesson..

yeah i wish i could say the same but ur country has no real heritage because its only a few hundred years old... so i guess ill say ur letting ur self down..

[Thescienceguy100]

so cool --- Sent From thecreativeone's AppRats (Facebook App)!

[Thescienceguy100]

at 7:56 did you get paid for that

[thecreativeone]

@Thescienceguy100 Yep. Millions.

[Thescienceguy100]

@thecreativeone thought so... lol

[HeffernanProductions]

@Thescienceguy100 he's not THAT big.

[Thescienceguy100]

@HeffernanProductions Dude its just a joke!!!!

[JohnHFilms]

Was going to buy a new MBA but I thought an SSD would be a much wiser choice, i bought the same one as yours but its the 480GB one.. love it!

[Thescienceguy100]

i think im in love with your camera

[reyjay07]

@gothicgamer0990 yeah great vid and i like in the discription secton he writes if u have any questions ask them in the comments... ill know next time ill ask a question that ill get about a million replys from everyone but david

[Adidas183]

use carbon copy cloner to clone your main harddrive to the ssd

[Jpotpuppals]

Oh and nice video creativeone keep it up. Love the stuff you do.

[Jpotpuppals]

@gothicgamer0990 @reyjay07

Guys just calm down. I'm not taking sides or anything but there really isn't any need for you conflict. Honestly the fact you two are going on about stuff that is really pointless in the end makes little sense, and especially on a video about Macs. I'm pretty sure some feelings are getting hurt and not just your own. So just relax. Oh and it's really not cool to going on about how you are part of a better country/race, we are all human and that's all that matters. :)

[fatestkoopa]

Well new that apple waz gona realease a new Mac mini (2011) with a intel i5 & i7 processor :D

[TheJacobHolmes]

I have a sticky button which says the same as your shirt :D

[imemutch123456789]

one quick question, can you upgrade straight from leopard to lion or do you need to have snow leopard installed?

[NZappletech]

Totally want your shirt!

[misterrainbowman]

Yay you put the hard drives in order :D

[MacProClub]

@reyjay07 @gothicgamer0990 pm each other about your problems, not on the comments of an innocent video

[romodrummerjz]

the stomach is the hard drive David since we store things in our stomachs and the hard drive is made for storage, and the trash is our butts since well..... u know the rest LOL

[reyjay07]

@gothicgamer0990 yeah and its true that americans are dumb asses...

and ur heritage is of german desent... thats nothing to be proud off...

[sanbsball44]

@reyjay07 I'm proud of my German heritage. The Nazis should not define Germany. Hitler was one of history's greatest rhetoricians. He scared the nation into accepting his deranged ideology which stole the inalienable right to life from millions, rightfully classifying him has one of the most evil men in history. But there is no reason why the countless contributions that Germany has made to the world, scientifically, industrially, culturally, diplomatically, should be overlooked.

[reyjay07]

@gothicgamer0990 ha do me a favour pls stop replying :L ur getting on my nerves... nerd

[reyjay07]

@gothicgamer0990 ur a bit of a hypocrite arent u?

ur technally a troll because i asked david a question and u had to rudely intercept? why did u feel the need to reply to my post?

because ur american u lack social skills and the use off good come backs im suprised u know what poxy and spanner even means? plus u sound like a red neck which doesnt do u any favours? ur basically a typical american uneducated on the history of the world and social skills...

a bitch is a female dog... fuckin dyke

[demyrik]

i like your videos and ive been a subscriber for a few years,but i dont understand why do you hate/dislike windows so much (im am a mac user)

[MyuuMuad]

I have a question... I'm quite noobish :P do you have to install an OS to each new hardrive? can you?

[ezrawwedp]

Just show's Window's fanboy's are so immature they get upset and cry when someone makes a joke.

[RyanAndrewRimmer]

lol, roar!

[tausifvids]

when you get sent stuff for reviving do you get it for free plus where do you get started and how

[supershaun91]

very cool, hope the performance on your mac pro is out of this world now, hopefully when I save up enough I'll upgrade to an SSD on my Acer Aspire 5542G and have a blazing fast laptop

[WithSerendipity]

Question mark!

[HeWhoDarez]

I love your upgrade videos, what ever shirt you wear.

[RockstarGamesHD1]

YOURE A PURE FANBOY go get friends stupid gayplee fan boy

[LoLUnboxer]

ROOM TOUR PLEASE THUMBS UP SO HE CAN SEE

[thecreativegeek]

@LoLUnboxer hes not long done one

[TekArena]

@LoLUnboxer Are you serious?

[LoLUnboxer]

@TekArena yeah why

[TekArena]

@LoLUnboxer He did one like two months ago!

[LoLUnboxer]

@TekArena no he did not i checked

[TekArena]

@LoLUnboxer /watch?v=Chq6Q1ZRAi0&list=UU_M­-oyXRUTc0 < I think he did.

[thecreativeone]

@LoLUnboxer Please tell me you are kidding.

[LoLUnboxer]

@thecreativeone  yes i am when i posted this i did not know that you had a spring room tour 2011

[MrJmacjr]

Remember a few years ago when David always said he hated when people blindly bashed apple? Its a shame when he wears a shirt like that, it just shows that pretty much all youtubers change when they get subscribers. It's a damn shame too, david used to be a quality youtuber.

[KaneDesigns]

@MrJmacjr Its just a fucking t-shirt get over it lol

[MrJmacjr]

@KaneDesigns uh oh i better run his fanboys are coming

[TucsonGamer88]

@MrJmacjr I don't do gay porn. Does that mean I bash Gay porn?

[thecreativeone]

@MrJmacjr It's a damn shame that you can't take a joke. It's a shirt. Calm down.

[azaas]

well after downloading Lion i think it's safe to say that i was like " ok i so wanna fap(ple) right now" ... yeah a 4chan reference after like half a decade on YT is allowed isn't it ? :P

[BenDover137]

This is a reason why Mac Pros arn't that great. You would think the case would support 2.5" drives. Unlike PC's. You can build a PC that's WAY better than that Mac pro and can natively support 2.5" drives with no converters

[PeterGregg]

"I have a small screwdriver". Sorry, just looking for attention here - lol.

[mitchishell]

Guys seriously use the OS that is right for the sort of tasks you will be doing and use the OS that you want.

[blooder81]

do we have the same imac g3 indigo (summer 2001)

i trade the bloundi blue rev a for this one

upgrade is 2x256mb and 120gb and mac os 10.4.11

[iPedle]

Your videos are more and more stupid :-(

[HeWhoDarez]

@iPedle You don't HAVE to watch the videos. Heck, you can even unsubscribe =P

[HeWhoDarez]

I use Windows, but I like the shirt. Everyone prefers one OS over another. They pretty much do the same thing.

[ThisIsWonga1]

Mac OS X sucks.

Lulz.

[TheGregaM]

Great video! BTW when was the last time you used Windows? I really hope you tried Windows 7 before making a statement with that shirt :)

[09victoryrc]

I like the shirt.my next laptop... Is APPLE

[MyRandomReviews]

60GB Just isn't enough space for all your applications and OSX

[rx7witha2jz]

@MyRandomReviews He has a fair amount of hard disk drives...

[MyRandomReviews]

@rx7witha2jz - What's the point in having an SSD if you're not going to store OSX and all applications on it? Yes, obviously he's got enough space for videos, pictures, and other stuff on his HDDs but just installing OSX and Adobe CS5.5 and Office for Mac, along with a few more applications is going to take up more than 60GB.

[rx7witha2jz]

@MyRandomReviews David said on one of his streams, that his entire application library is taking up 40gb. He said he does not need most of it so he will have a smaller application folder. He will be fine

[MyRandomReviews]

@rx7witha2jz - Okay, fair enough. But I was offering a little advice as an owner of a MacBook Pro with an SSD (128GB). The whole installation of OSX and Applications takes 65.94GB, that's with Adobe CS5.5, and Office for Mac 2011 installed and just a couple of Steam games (small, old Steam games, no L4D2 or Borderlands). There is no music, no photos, and no videos on the SSD, just purely applications and OS X Lion.

He'll be complaining later down the line in a video, watch this space.

[TechHelpTH]

David where did you get an angry birds bracelet ?

[igeekone]

I've been wanting to put an SSD into my MBP when I get the cash to do so. That should breath some new life into my pretty old but trusty notebook.

awesome! i've been wanting to see you do this for ages. Lion is awesome.

[m20andreas]

Great upgrade David, I'm considering of buying a 60GB ssd myself :). Hey, what about you leaving your family house this summer? Any updates on that ? :p

[MIDNIGHTCLUB8000]

I love that your iPhone goes off at the right moment when you open your case on the Mac Pro.
