  • Is it available in stores? Compatible with hp pavillion elite desktops?

  • @chickenpoper The OWC Mercury Extreme Pro SSDs are available at Other World Computing. Yes, the drive is compatible with PCs including the HP Pavillion Elite Desktop series. As the SSD is a 2.5" form factor and desktops usually accommodate 3.5" drives, you will probably need an adapter from the OWC Multi-Mount line. Also make sure your HP accepts SATA hard drive connections - if you have an IDE hard drive connection, you'll want to get the OWC Mercury Extreme Pro Legacy Edition SSD instead.

  • @imunique42489 There is no trickery in our videos, benchmarks, or tests. We have not become a prominent and trusted member of the Mac community, an A+ rated BBB accredited business, and a Reseller Ratings Elite Member by making it a practice to deceive our customers.

  • Actually, sorry, I take that back - I just timed my boot and it was about the same!

  • I'm confused - the laptop on the left took far too long simply to boot, irrespective of hard drive type. Even my 2007 model MacBook Pro boots significantly faster than that.

  • I want this video on my A6188 unit.

  • lol macs

  • @gDoxe I think the point was to show people the performance / speed increase over their current HDs, not to compare their SSDs to other SSDs. SSDs are relatively new as an option for in-computer use, so this video is about why to upgrade.

  • @Fluvance Nah, that's what I said. lol.

  • @muffdriver69 That's not what she said!

  • That's like comparing a Lamborghini to a Kia.

    Do a proper comparison, compare the SSD to other equally priced SSD's.

  • 28 seconds is pretty slow still.
