Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
For the past two days I had been installing SSD on numbers of desktop computer. One thing that would have come handy is a 2.5-inch to 3.5-inch adapter bracket. In the past, I bought several NewerTech AdaptaDrive to accommodate the need for such adapter. Once again I found myself needing such adapter. I have just ordered a few units to finish up the upgrade, properly.
NewerTech AdaptaDrive costs about $15 and can be easily purchased from Other World Computing.
Project of the day: install a Crucial M500 SSD 480GB on a MacBook Pro and get it ready for Saturday.
One thing that I bought during the so called “Balck Friday” weekend was a 240GB Kingston SSDnow V300. I was planning to install this SSD on the very MacBook Pro I am using to type this post; but I kinda forgot to do. I will install the SSD probably tomorrow.
OCZ announced that it is filing for bankruptcy. Toshiba Corporation has offered to acquire substantially all of the Company’s assets in a bankruptcy proceeding.
Recently, Panasonic was reported to license OCZ Barefoot 3 Controller and SSD Design according to StorageReviews.com.
OCZ Technology, founded in August 2002 in the city of San Jose, California, first making DDR RAM and USB flash-drives. In the latter years OCZ entered the Solid State Drive (SSD) market.
I myself have been using and recommending OCZ products, among other brands, for many years.
I’ve been getting a lot of request lately to install Solid State Disk (SSD) on laptops, especially MacBook Pro. One of my current favorite model is SanDisk Extreme SSD. This particular MacBook Pro is now armed with SanDisk Extreme SSD 480 GB. I also installed 8 GB of RAM.
Short of installing fresh Operating System per owner’s request, I use Carbon Copy Cloner. The only problem is that it took 8 hours to clone 400 GB of data through FireWire 800.
SanDisk Extreme SSD is on sale for one day only on Amazon.com.
The one day sale is part of Gold Box Deal of the Day.
I have bought the 240 GB and the 480 GB in the past.
I have spent good portion of Friday and Saturday working on a Toshiba Portégé notebook. I replaced the stock hard drive with SanDisk Extreme SSD 480 GB. I also installed 8 GB of RAM on this notebook.
