Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 19, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 19, 2009 No just use a Mac system to quick format the drive before you image the drive should be all you would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 The two tips that use are: - Turn off the sudden motion sensor. ( sudo pmset -a sms 0 ) - Set hibernatemode to 0 ( sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0 ) The hibernate mode setting prevents the ram (in total) being written to the SSD when you put the laptop to sleep. This is good for me, as I have 8gig of ram. Bear in mind, that if the battery runs flat, you will loose any data that was currently being used in running apps. One good thing with setting the hibernate mode is the laptop will sleep in about three seconds. Anyone have other tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattspalace Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Considering that Mac doesn't support TRIM, I wouldn't even put an SSD in it, and I have a Macbook Pro. I recommend waiting until Mac has some sort of TRIM-like feature for the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_31 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I did complain about the trim feature, but testing the speed of the SSD recently, it's still quite fast. Easily faster than any standard hard drive, and quiter, less power hungry etc.. I would never buy a trad hard drive for macbook, even if the trim feature isn't working yet. There are other brands that has less slowdown for sure, but I did buy the P128, and it works very well. The reading speed is still very high, and that is the most important thing anyway. (Slowdown mainly affects writing speed.) If you can afford it, go for SSD. Slowdown or not, they are still very fast, and much better than conventional hard drives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 9, 2010 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 9, 2010 There are hundreds of user using our Performance series drives in MAC's and no issues that I am aware of why wait, use SSD's are still faster than any spinning HDD especially a NB drive.
