OCZ Agility 3 240GB Boot Time And Speed Test On 2011 13" Macbook Pro

[AdoD88]

Ok I found that nothing is wrong :)

After couple resets of mac (about 10 resets)

SSD is working like it should.

[charalambous94]

i have exactly the same laptop and i bought agility 3 and the write speed is 140 and read 200 mb . why??? anyone can help me?

@charalambous94 If you're using the "black magic" disk speed test app then it does say that now because they updated it a few months ago and now it displays the wrong speed. Also make sure that TRIM is enabled, google it if you don't know what it is

[charalambous94]

@DannyC440 how to enable trim??

[DannyC440]

@charalambous94 I can't give you a direct link to instructions on how to do it but just search how to enable trim on google. To see if it's already enabled go into system preferences where the tech specs are and then serial ata then it should say somewhere on there

[AdoD88]

@charalambous94

I have the same problem. TRIM is enabled.

In Speed test is slow: 140 write, 210 read.

Shout down takes 2s, boot up takes about 45-60s.

I have the same SSD in Macbook Pro 13 late 2011.

How can I solve the problem?

[charalambous94]

@AdoD88 i have no idea! i did not do anything!

[charalambous94]

make a video with apps launching !

[charalambous94]

did u use super duper to clone the sad with your hd and after install the ssd?

[DannyC440]

@charalambous94 No, i backed up my old hard drive using time machine and installed the SSD, then installed lion and restored from backup. if you clone to an SSD you won't get the full speed. thats why i did it that way :)

[charalambous94]

@DannyC440 did u installed it from a recovery hd that u did?

[DannyC440]

@charalambous94 The OS itself I installed from disc and all my files from a time machine backup on an external HDD

[charalambous94]

are you satisfied with the agility 3??

[DannyC440]

@charalambous94 yeah, its awesome :) really fast!

[rowen211]

@DannyC440 it better be, I just spent a pretty penny on one...

[charalambous94]

does the macbook pro 13 has sata3??

[DannyC440]

@charalambous94 Yeah it's sata 3 :)

Damn, I really need to ugrade my Apple SSD in my MBP. It's fast enough, but it only scores 150MB/s write, and 200MB/s read.

2 Crucial M4 in RAID 0 would be even more awesome though. :)

[DannyC440]

@nformby Yeah :) that'll be fast :)

TRIM is enabled. Looks like using the blackmagic app from the app store is the problem. Thanks for clearing that up.

[DannyC440]

@cbmfo If it boots in less than 20 seconds it's fine, should be around the same speed as mine (about 15 seconds) but yours should be slightly faster

[cbmfo]

Did you have to tweak any settings to get read and write speeds like that? I just installed the same drive into my 2011 Macbook Pro (2.2 GHz i7) and I'm topping out at around 200 MB/s read and write.

[DannyC440]

@cbmfo are you using the app from the app store to check it? Black magic I think it's called, they updated it and now it doesn't say the speed correctly. also go into system preferences and check that trim is enabled, if it isn't search google on how to enable it because the SSD will be faster and will last longer with it enabled.

[HRodMusic]

do you think this will work fine on my 15" early mbp?

[DannyC440]

@HRodMusic yeah it should be fine, if its this years model it'll have SATA III which is needed to get faster speeds with this ssd, but older mbp's only have SATA II and this ssd won't reach its full speed.

[HRodMusic]

@DannyC440 well its the early 2011, u think it should do fine?

[DannyC440]

@HRodMusic yeah it should be fine, if its working in mine then it should be ok in yours. let me know when you get one if its ok :)

[itgums]

Just wonder, is there any problem after installed the ocz agility in ur MacBook pro? Is everything fine if u keep run within a hour?

[DannyC440]

@itgums it's fine, works great after 3 hours of use with no problems :)

[itgums]

Just wonder, is there any problem with ur MacBook pro after installed the agility 3 ssd?
