littlezipp Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Need help! I've been struggling with getting these drives to play nice with my mini for over a week now and I'm having no luck. This is a 2011 i5 2.5 with 6630m graphics and 8GB RAM. This is a non-server model with the second HD cable installed for dual drive capability. Issue: For two SSD's this thing should be screaming fast but I am constantly getting the spinning ball and freezes. I have tried RAID as well as the drives individually. I updated the firmware from 1.2 to current 1.3 on the drives with no change. I have pulled RAM from another machine to make sure it's not a RAM issue and it's not. When I use Xbench I get very random results and it takes an extremely long time to run. Some of the results come in at under 2mbps... This is a clean install of Lion (multiple times actually). Is there a known incompatibility with OSX and these drives?

Wired Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 The server Mac Mini I take it? Which GT size do you have? Note: The Corsair website says they're compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlezipp Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 i5 2.5 with 6630m 2011 Mac Mini. This is the non-server model with extra SATA cable for the 2nd drive. Issue was still there before my second cable arrived and I was running in single drive mode. These are 120GB versions of the GT. I see on the site they are listed as compatible but my performance would indicate otherwise unfortunately. I am happy to run any additional tests or provide any additional information that will lead to a solution! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Hrm, I'll have to look for a breakdown of the internals then. Haven't cracked mine open yet :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
