  • i wonder how much it was 3.5yrs ago.. lol

  • I like how he pops the keyboard area up.

  • and then i put crysis 2 in it, and it immediately crashed.

  • @NachtCrus When you throw a window to apple, the window will crash, when you throw apple to window the window will crash, what you see is what you get

  • @QualityCompare that's the gayest shit I've ever heard.

  • @PeskyPanda Real and Hetero, unlike you man

  • @QualityCompare that's the second gayest shit I've ever heard.

  • you should run Snow Leopard, its much faster than Leopard. Mine was 5 seconds faster running a slow 5400 HDD.

  • @YukkiHabiki look at the date of the vid, they probably didnt have snow yet.

  • its about 3 times faster than my 2.8 c2d, 4gb ddr3, 500gb 5400rpm, 17" mbpro :) if you want performance in your computer all you need to do is switch your slow ass HDD into SSD

  • @spontanp

    if you want large data transfer performance, then an SSD will do the trick. it has nothing to do with high end graphics, processing, or internet transfer which is what most people buy a mac for. not saying an SSD is bad, but for most people the $400+ price tag for a basic drive isnt worth the few less seconds of boot time and video loading.

  • @tilxGH i think it's better to have a 750 G 5400RPM or the 500G 7200 RPM and just replace the optical drive with a 120 G ssd. use the ssd for video files, photoshop ect... and the other drive for main storage. it's what i do and works great.

  • @halolord01 Until now I hadn't considered doing that... I think I'll really weigh out how much I use my optical drive, because right now on my new 2.2 quad I've only used it once to install SC2.... That sounds like a great idea. I'll probably just go with a 32gb ssd for the OS, and then I'll have even more room on the hdd to partition my windows side for school work. thanks!

  • In the final section of the video where you show the SDS, how did you get the Macbook Pro to open up with just a click of a button?

  • @anp27 he didnt have the screws in the side of the macbook pro.

  • Yeah, .8 ms seek time, but the write time is absolutely horrible.

  • @Gtrshark24 this is 2008 man, the ssds werent as good before, now they go up to 1400mb/s for internal ssd

  • my hp boots in 16 seconds with windows 7...

  • @beldimanvlad It's brand new, right?

  • @squiresuzuki no :P

  • @beldimanvlad

    really?

    but it still sucks?

  • ehhm, "read 90mb / write 109mb" ? lol

    guys, dont forget this is from 2008...

    + Crucial RealSSD C300 128GB

    -------> read 355mb / write 140mb

    ++ G.Skill Phoenix Pro 120GB

    -------> read 285mb / write 275mb

    THUMB UP

  • Dvnation sux! They sell products and do NOT stand behind the warranty! How many people do you know that want to mail there $375 SSD across the pond for repairs. What a joke. I would NOT purchase anything from DVNation!

    FRAUD!

  • My MacBook shuts down faster than that... but it can't start up like that with it's HDD.

  • can i fit one to my MBP 13" (new model out this June)

    how much are they roughly

  • jesus windows XP looks like shit stop harping on about it and get a computer that can handle at least vista. and then stop complaining about vista it ain't that bad.

  • @maccrazyg5 LOL. "It's not that bad!" You sound like a little bitch. It is that bad, even Microsoft says it's that bad. Pull your head out of your ass.

  • @dthudon Sure it isn't perfect, but if your using it to get work done rather than to just flip settings and tinker all day it's fine as an operating system. I suppose using XP makes some people feel like they know better, like swearing by a particular anti-virus.

  • does the HDD works in the 2010 unibody macbook?

  • my hackintosh loads much faster...

  • Comment removed

  • does 128 gb is enough ?

  • Yeah... mine with a WD Scorpio Blue (5400 rpm) just booted in like 15... that's a crappy SSD. My original HD booted up in 16-20, and it would boot Windows 7 in about the same time...

  • Great Vid 5 stars

  • Wow it boots up really fast

    I will upgrade mine soon.

  • my leopard on macbook pro 13inch only takes 12-14seconds with a 5400rpm HDD

  • @Lexothphia my mistake i just timed it it was 15seconds dead 4gb ram 2.0ghz processor 160gb HDD

  • my new macbook can beat that hands down

  • @kismo94 I don't think so.

  • @87ramasaurus how would you know you havnt seen it

  • @kismo94 Really ? You can beat 16 seconds boot up "hands down" ? With what SSD ?

  • @87ramasaurus yes

  • @kismo94 With WHAT SSD ? Do a video and show me. I'll buy it myself.

  • @87ramasaurus it hasnt got an ssd

  • @kismo94 LOL kid just cut the crap, get hold of a dictionary and learn the word 'hypocrite'.

  • @jamvaru Says the hypocrite PC user.

  • Have you ever used for any lengthy period of time/owned a mac ever?

  • what is wrong with you? the macbooks are soo pretty and the os is awesomee

  • fast as hell, man...

  • Yeah, No offence but your vista probably boots that fast because its a $3000 or up computers. This laptop is much cheaper. I'm sure if you get a Mac Pro with Quad-Core Xeon Procs and 32GB ram the Mac will beat yours. Thats the beauty about Mac, the code of Mac can support more processor power and much larger amounts of ram.

  • @josiahdaniels0335 Incorrect.. The code of the Mac is not different when it comes to using the power of the machine, but it might be faster because it doesn't use as much power.. Anyway my Windows XP operated Dell PC with a 1.8 C2D from 2007 with SSD boots in less than 5 seconds without Bios, so STFU newb..

  • my vista ultimate boots in 11sec hahahaha Ya i know its shit lol

  • @4g63gen1 Mine does it in 14 seconds..

  • My iMac (late 2009) takes 21.6 seconds to boot with snow leopard.

  • nice for you but wtf i dont get angry if it takes a little more like 30seconds to 1 minut

  • my new mbp with a normal 320 HDD boots up in 22 seconds

  • its worth the money in the end to save the extra 1400 bucks to buy a new mac anyway...as long as you keep your mint...nice to know theres options..

  • SSD inevitably slows down over time. TRIM should help to avoid that, but Macs don't support TRIM yet.

  • @darthirakli Can you elaborate? Why do they slow down and what is TRIM? I'll be damned if I'm going to spend $2k on an SSD to have it end up as slow as an HDD!

  • @RetroRepair

    Fail.

  • @halofreak2121 Informative. Good job.

  • It's pretty bad that you don't even realize it. An average SSD costs about $200 bucks. $2k, fail.

  • @halofreak2121 The SSD in the video is currently selling for $2,000 moron.

  • Look. I just bought an SSD that's twice as fast as the one in this video with the same capacity for $350. So if ANYONE pays $2,000 for that, they've just been suckered. Yes, it's SLC, not MLC, but even at that, OCZ offers a 120gb SLC SSD which is about 2.5 times faster for half that price. So $2,000 for that is just bullshit in every sense of the word.

  • @halofreak2121 I agree it's bullshit. I'd never spend that on a low capacity (relatively) storage medium. The read/write speed is not longer that impressive either. It doesn't change the fact though, that I was commenting on the SSD in this video. Might I ask where you got yours for $350 though? I'd be happy spending that!

  • Newegg.

  • Yea, you can buy an OCZ PCI-E 512 MB card now for 2k.....Intel and OCZ are 2 of the best imo. 300 bucks intel has a nice 80GB SSD, 250 read, 70 write. But MLC

  • I got a 128gb Corsair with 220 read and 200 write (MLC, Samsung controller) for $350. This drive has the best cost effectiveness of any SSD, imo.

  • @halofreak2121 dude look at the moment the vid was uploaded, more than 2 years ago, sure those drives were much more expensive than they are these days

  • im a bit concern on lifespan of ssd, will it last longer than hdd

  • An SSD will most likely last 2-3 years.

  • so which one do you prefer? i heard OCZ vertex MTBF is 1.5 million hours that pretty much over 2-3 years so hows that

  • I prefer the VRaptors (I do extensive video editing and the vraptors work better than an SSD), since what i'll be doing is putting 3 VRaptors in Raid 0 which exceeds SSD's.

    But i'll still be using an SSD for launching my apps and the os, since a VRaptor 300GB v 126GB SSD...well the SSD wins, and i dont mind spending 500 for 1 SSD if the performance leap is going to be HUGE.

    For storage i'd definitely say no comp, go with a Vraptor, but if your launching apps,gaming religiously go SSD.

  • Wow. You guys are obviously pampered. My first PC took so long to boot that I could prepare lunch in the interim. Completely happy with 20 seconds.

  • MAC OSX ONs Me Windows 7 YES

  • that is robot speaking ?? :DDD

    teaa oor coffee -- teaa oorr cofee e-eee-ee

    :DDDDDDDDDDD

  • ubuntu boots faster then this fuck that

  • Do you have to use a special SSD for these Macboo Pro's? or can you use any SSD? specifically I want to use an OCZ MLC summit 120gb SSD! thanks!

  • you can order a macbook pro from the apple website and customise its specs

  • hey,

    yes the apple website does allow you to customise the specs on a macbook pro and have it shipped to you, however it would be less expensive to simply buy the standard configuration and upgrade the parts yourself.

  • i wish i was allowed to upgrade my xp machine

  • you mean upgrade parts?

    or buy a new machine?

  • upgrade parts, my xp machine uses:

    Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz

    1GB DDR RAM (133MHz)

    nVidia GeForce4 MX 440

    and i wish to upgrade my xp machine to:

    Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300

    4GB RAM DDR2 (at least 667 MHz)

    nVidia GeForce 8400 GS or over

    at least my vista machine is much better than my xp

  • @gongy1returns take out the mobo and put a new one that supports core 2 quad, and then just add those parts you want onto it

  • i know, but just im not allowed and i am only 12 and i am good for my age

  • BUYING A SSD DRIVE!

  • eh thanks.

    why did you post that as a reply to me?

  • because u had a question! :D

  • oh I see, I was actually helping to answer someones question and was wanting to clarify what they meant :-P

    But thanks anyway

  • Bootspeed depends on so many diffrent things

  • i agree, such as hdd speed, processor speed, the amount of programs installed, the amount of hard drive space free

  • all y'all need to make your own videos and prove what u're sayin, i bet none of u guys pc's boot in the time u boast about :P

  • hmm.. my macbook pro has a normal HDD and snow leopard boots within 20 or so..

  • snow leopard is kinda slow, i was using a macbook with 120 HDD with leopard it took 15 sec to boot and 2 sec to shutdown. Now I upgraded to snow leopard it takes 20 sec to boot...

  • I got a video of my MacBook that boots in 10 seconds

  • Slow....

  • it really only took about 6 seconds to boot, once the spiral starts that is when the OS is booting

  • Minutes delphi? What did you just pick any slow PC to get your facts? Fact is most new macbooks take LONGER than 20 seconds to load. And the mac in this video with SSD is actually slow at booting. I've seen quite a few PC's load windows in less than 15 seconds. My i7, 4ghz pc boots in 14 seconds from a standard HD. A PC can boot in XP in 10 seconds from SSD. And why did that guy get thumb down? Maybe some people don't like the truth.

  • 10 second boot -

    /watch?v=rhJXWAz_Duw

  • @afisd Lol Apple just got owned xD

  • @afisd 4ghz i7? what computer do you have?

  • @afisd No, you're a liar... probably have no idea what you're talking about.

    Probably pissed off you can't afford an SSD and go troll every vid that claims they're faster. Truth is that they are five times as fast. Do some effing benchmarking man. My OCZ Vertex reaches 287MB/s Read. The highest a normal HDD can do is 78. Most HDD's are around 50, low-end down at 13.

    Your processor's cores, threads and clocks don't matter in booting. It uses one core and doesn't go faster with higher clocks.

  • @GeeakFreeak Oh your so wrong.. most new good harddisks has readspeeds at around 100 and the same in writespeed so 78 MB is just wrong..

  • @Mantua64 Nope, if you've got one of those you're extremely lucky as every hardware comes out differently even if they're made the same. Just like some strawberries taste better than others.

    When buying regular HDDs they're measured in ms response time, not R/W. If we both buy a HDD with a claimed 4.16ms then mine might get 80 Read and yours 100.

    Outcome is that none of us is right, but you're right that they can have higher than 78Mb/s read. Most aren't though.

  • @GeeakFreeak Every hardware comes out differently?! Bullshit.. Under same circumstances hardware perform close to identical, you must be talking about running with different software or else this statement makes no sense. If brand new hardware perform as differently as 80 to 100 mb readspeed (average) then one of these must be broken in some way, or running on bad drivers/ operating systems

  • @Mantua64 I'm done with argueing on YouTube, none but has a fucking clue what they're talking about but me. Shit, only yesterday I was arguing with someone why Intel is worth their price with someone who didn't know the difference between C0 and D0 steppings and no idea what hyper threading was.

    Every hardware does perform differently, I don't fucking care if you didn't know this. I'ma not read your answer to this comment, if there is one.

  • @GeeakFreeak OMG.. You are indeed a retard to claim ultimate knowledge over others.. And we ain't talking different steppings of cpu's as that is not the same product is it?! MORON.. It is logic that products sold as being the same is so very close to being the same that the difference is not possible to see. The difference you see will only be the fact that your test output is flawed due to your ignorance..

  • @afisd My old laptop with SSD can do XP in 5 seconds..

  • @afisd The problem is that after those 15 seconds you have to use Windows.

  • I have a Super Talent 32GB SSD that reads at an average of 216MB/s and max 240.9MB/s. I think you have an older model, or perhaps its just the fact Mac OS is that bad =/. But then again it could be that I'm running Windows XP Pro on a Intel Core 2 Quad @ 3.2Ghz =P

  • say i went ahead and bought a macbook pro withOUT the SSD and wanted to add it later, how would I connect my new drive so i could copy all my system files to it so I wouldn't have to reinstall the OS? they do have external laptop hard drive connectors right?

  • yeah im gunna do the same thing with this macbook pro im gunna buy

  • so do pc's...

  • @asskickerANDco no they dont my vista takes 2 min to boot

  • @Xehanortheartless your stock crappy comp takes that long

  • whats the processor?

  • That's really fast, I'm impressed, that's about as fast as my pre-owned iMac G3, if not faster, no joke. Do SSD's cause the laptop to heat up as much as a standard hard disk would?

  • it shouldn't... there aren't any moving parts in a ssd

  • Shouldn't. I'm getting one this week. They generate almost no heat, actually.

  • no since there are no moving parts ssd's stay cool

  • SURE....IN YOUR DREAMS....

  • Wow that was freaking fast, lol!! No wonder is so expensive and no moving parts with the solid state drive. My next notebook will have SSD indeed. Thanks for posting the video.

  • very fast,i'll be getting one of those someday

  • too bad the drive costs as much as a brand new macbook pro

  • impressive Vista would take about twice that time

  • did he bite an apple at the end? lol

  • fuck that is the fastest boot speed i ve ever seen in my life wow

    not even a macpro

    WOW

    SSD yeah no moving parts wow this made me take a shit in my self

  • wow.

  • What 21 seconds?? How about 10 seconds on Windows XP with an SSD? But without SSD it can be done in 12.

    /watch?v=rhJXWAz_Duw

  • windows in 10 seconds is bullshit - and i'm a former XP power user!

  • @maccfinn Nope that is easily done with SSD power, Power user..

  • hahaha.... yeah, a 10 sec nosedive into 30 minutes of Anti-virus software updates.

    WINDOWS ROCKS!!!! (ctrl+alt+delete, ctrl+alt+delete, ctrl+alt+delete, ctrl+alt+delete, ctrl+alt+delete, ctrl+alt+delete, ctrl+alt+delete, ctrl+alt+delete, ctrl+alt+delete, ctrl+alt+delete, ctrl+alt+delete,............)

  • @afisd just curious, now that 7 months have passed, how long does it the same pc take to boot. i'll bet money its not 10 seconds

  • @afisd YOU FAIL!

    Read the description of that video, it's an SSD in there.

  • @afisd

    But this is standard Mac OS 10.5 Leopard... You changed the theme to the Windows Classic style, which speeds it up, you have no wallpaper, which speeds it up (very slightly), and you seem to have many CPU cores all so you can beat this old MacBook Pro.

  • @afisd my parents have a windows notebook (7) and when that thing finally boots up to the desktop, there's still a shitload of number crunching going around which halts most basic functions to a snails' pace until the wonderful semi-translucent circle stops spinning around the cursor.

  • Hi All,

    I have the exact same MacBook Pro as in this video. I'm looking to upgrade to a 500GB internal drive. Anyone know a place online to find it and the best prices? What's the dimensions of the internal hard drive I'd need?

  • macsales(.)com sells drives for speciffic Macs.

  • Your probably looking at about $600 lol

  • Nope, they're around 80-100 bucks.

  • Are you high? You cant get 'em for less than $1,800

  • how did you pop the keyboard up to quick?!?!!?!? i thought you had to take out all the screws to do that... if i knew that i would of upgraded my macbook pro in little minutes

  • he already had the screws out smart one

  • That made me shit myself.

  • Wow, it shut down fast. Only 2 seconds.

  • it shuts down in 2 seconds on my regular HDD macbook pro

  • Pretty much all Macs shut down that fast.

  • Yup, it takes longer to shut down only in case there many programs open before the shut down.

  • Not sure if PS is the best example for speed up... when I compare this to doing similarly with CS4 on my five year old notebook w/ 5400RPM HDD running Windows 7, there of course is a difference in speed, but I am not impressed.

  • Oops, wrong video. I did not intend to comment on this one.

  • hi whats your windows vista or xp?????????

  • this is pretty amazing...i can't wait until SSD gets a little cheaper in the market then i'll be all over it

  • mee too. I really hope SSDs will cost 0.50$ or less so I can actually replace all my hard drives with SSDs for a reasonable cost

  • yeah...

    sow im gonna buy  6 256 GB SSD drives

  • I like the speed of it. How does it handle things like multitasking and large file transfers? Have you noticed any disadvantages to the SSD drive?

  • Well hell folks its about damn time!!!! man you think the human race would have had this available years ago... HDD's are so shit anyway. Wow im amazed it took so long to get this out... Ive had this setup for a while now. Helps when you have family and are a part in Federal R&D for the military. Still not fast enough tho. But for the public it will do for now.

  • I think [i]you[/i] are the person that is forced and annoying. The guy in the video is fine.

  • i want it. but i like my phenom x4 9850BE OC to 2.96

    4gb corsair

    2x 320gb in raid 0

    2x 8800gts in sli

  • boots ubuntu in 21 seconds and windows 7 in 33 seconds thats good enough for me

  • can you have more memory on ssd

    like 1.5 TB or more???

  • lolno

  • you can get 6 256GB SSD's and make them work together using a RAID 0 setup. this also means they're even faster (6 times faster I think) because all 6 load information at the same time. That'll give you 1.5 TB and ridiculously fast loading times.

  • yes im gonna buy 6 256GB SSD's

    im gonna install 3 OS's

    Windows 7 built 7048 (64-bit version)

    Mac OS X 10.6

    and Linux Ubuntu (64-bit version)

    sow they gonna load lower (1 minute or 2 :)

  • lol if you do get 6 SSD's, you're probably looking at only 5 to 10 seconds to boot an OS.

  • yeah.... windows will load for 10 seconds

    but if i have 3 OS's???

    how time probably gonna look???

  • What does it mean SOLID STATE DRIVE??

  • like a huge memorystick - like RAM no rotating mechanics

  • FAST 20 SECON..MAC...RULEZ!

  • Mac and windows are both good systems, I choose windows because it does not cost 3000$ for 2 gb of ram and a xeon processor and also the games: my comp :

    Core i7 from Intel overclocked at 4.5 ghz

    6 gb of ram DDR3(instead of 2gb of Ram DDR2)

    Antec 1200 case (Better looking than Mac Pro)

    Cooler Master v8 (Cpu cooler)

    500 gb of space;

    HD4850 from Ati

    Corsair 750W TX

    EVGA x58 motherboard

    etc and etc, not for 3000$, but 2000$, and get more than twice faster.

  • - @ volure1 -

    They don't manufacture a 2.5" 1 terabyte drive yet...there may be prototypes...but not yet available to the public.

    Also, you're 19 according to your profile. Act your age and learn how to write properly... There should be two [SHIFT] keys on your keyboard. Use them.
