Macbook Aluminum 13" SSD disk boot performance

Tested the boot performance on two Macbook Aluminum 13”. Both have 2.4 GHz and 4GB Memory, but the difference is that the one to the left have an Intel X25 80GB SATA2 SSD (Solid State Disk) installed and the one to the right have the standard 250GB 5400 rpm disk installed.

Well its the Safari on my Mac that takes so long to boot. It just bounces and bounces. When I first got the computer it took only 2-3 bounces. Now it could be 23 before it starts. And its only Safari that does this. I think Apple needs to rework some code.

[goeranhansen]

Sounds like you have some serious issues with your current installation of Safari..

SSD rocks - so far :)

I've seen some of the videos of the SSD and it looks extremely fast when you open up files and applications. As far as boot up time and shutting down, the boot up time is indeed way faster, but the shutting down is almost the same. SSD is way too expensive now so it's better to wait until they decrease the prices.

[havenhood]

is it possible to put in a pc ssd or r apple hard drives proprietary?

[bce018]

Its not about rpm its about access time.

@rickytrix Yes, you can put SSD in any computer. Desktop and Laptop.

[JSantana319]

@GodMystic You're right about that, but I meant for configuring it with a Mac is extremely expensive. 128GB of SSD is $300 if you put it on a 15 inch Macbook Pro and over $1,300 for 512GB of SSD lol.
