waynerrr Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 The original Hard drive has gone I took it out and its a Serial ATA 120GB fujitsu/apple unit (See attachment for picture) I was thinking whether i could relplace it with an SSD drive & whether it will create many problems for me remember the laptop is an early Intel mac (late 2006 early 2007) If you think that it is possible then Please recommend a SSD thanks I live in UK (should that matter) P.S. 128GB is absolutely fine (no smaller, no bigger) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 8, 2010 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 8, 2010 You should be fine and I would suggest our Performance series drives for that system PN# CMFSSD-128GBG2D. And you will have to get the Install disk from Apple I think they charge you a small fee for the disk but it would be best to contact them if you do not have one.

waynerrr Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 1. I'm assuming Vmware installation will be fine on an SSD (or are there issues?) 2. Could I expect faster speeds from my VMware compared to running it off spinning disk Hard drive Thanks Vmware = fusion for mac windows server 2003 guest 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 The performance of the drive will be notably faster than any spinning HDD but VMware is more dependent on the ram you have in your system, so yes you should see an improvement but I am not sure it will have much effect in that software other than it will load a little quicker.
