Force GT in 2011 Mac Mini (RAID) with poor performance

Recommended Posts

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?

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!
