The Cloud Ninja Solid State Drive is made for all the users who want to upgrade their MacBook for the most efficient performance. Just take a screwdriver and tighten the screw.

Moreover, it is not at all difficult to install it. Loaded with SATA 6.0GB/s interface, you can enjoy the lightning-fast speed and 10-second boot time with this SSD. Enjoy browsing your MacBook and downloading the most without worrying about the space or the speed. Increase your MacBook’s capacity from the default 250 GB up to 1 to 2 TB. Upgrade it with Cloud Ninjas Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch) Mid 2009 Solid State Drive Upgrades and enjoy the lightning-fast speed at a fractional cost. Sometimes the speed decreases and it might take forever to perform a complex operation. Not the hope and conjecture you just penned to feel better about your purchase.Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) Series Solid State Drive UpgradesĪs the MacBook ages, its performance becomes less efficient. Basically a SATA2 link (not even SATA3) on a single Samsung 840 will boot and run slightly faster than the OWC Accelsior. You don't boot and because you can get 700MB/s second it is fast, sorry. After that you have a RAID0 Marvell controller that has been shown by every trusted test to be less than stellar compared to a single 3G drive in the most demanding areas a boot disk uses. If you used a stopwatch it would be there. It happens at post and is brief to fairly long depending on other associated host connections. Why is it an "outright lie"? Do you have or have tested all the SSD's on various links as discussed here? PCI booting anything has a time penalty overhead associated with it as with any PCI controller. Standard benchmarks are "rigged"? Why? Is the entire world out for OWC? C'mon. Alternatively, if you have a 3.5" bay to spare get one of these. To mount it in the optical bay you could just tape it down to be honest, or you can find a 5.25" bay to 2.5" drive bracket on Newegg. If you want something a bit faster and richer, then look at the Samsung 840 Pro. For a general purpose OS/Apps/etc drive, the best choice for bang-for-buck these days is probably the Crucial M4. I would NOT choose anything with a SandForce 22xx controllers such as the Vertex 3 or most OWC SSDs. please read this thread for a full discussion on why it probably won't make much difference:Īs for a recommended SSD. Now, all current SSDs come with SATA3 compatibility and max sequential read/write speeds that exceed the limits of your SATA2 connections on the Mac, but don't worry about that.


The Mac Pro 2009 and later (and maybe earlier?) all come with SATA 2 connections for internal drives.
