what kind of SSD did you buy? Are all SSD compatible with the macbook poly?

[LucaZPFYT]

@dnguyen963 Intel X25-M G2 Postville

Almost no difference

[LucaZPFYT]

@jedhay1

yes, but with standard 5,400 rpm HDD, the macbook white poly is 12 seconds slower!!

SSD make the difference

@LucaZPFYT do you know you just payed a shit load of money for 12 seconds?

[LucaZPFYT]

@mclmatty

oh c mon is for test only.

Now i've sold my mac 2007 poly and the mac pro is not mine!

now the ssd is in mac mini 2010

Why don't you just put an SSD in the MacBook Pro?

Hey i bought an 07 macbook for $300, threw on a 60 gig ssd for $70 and it boots 12 seconds faster than my wifes MBP :)

Ps: everything else is quicker to not just the boot up....

@lucasZPFYT It's probably a better deal than buying a new laptop because later, you could use the SSD in a new one... Just goes to show you that the speed of the processor isn't what dogs these MB's... it's the drives! For $400 you could get a Macbook and put 200 more out to equal or better a $1100 Macbook pro.

I'd STILL rather have the MBP but hey, if you only have $600 then that's really hard to beat!

@mclmatty application time is way better with SSD and access to everything else

[AngelChildxxx]

@HHBones mmmhh...maybe cause of the price? probably yes..
