I purchased SanDisk Extreme SSD 240 GB from Amazon and it was delivered shortly after WWDC 2012 Keynote. Prior to installing it on the MacBook Pro, I went to SanDisk site and download the latest firmware for this SanDisk Extreme SSD.
Mac users should update the firmware to the latest version before installing it on their Macs. That’s because the firmware updaters most likely requires Windows. The update process will wipe out the content of SSD.
I installed SanDisk Extreme SSD 240 GB (SDSSDX-240G-G25) in my MacBook Pro and fresh-installed OS X.
Previously I had ADATA S599 SSD 128 GB on this MacBook Pro for approximately 18 months.
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.
p.s.
I have just ordered the 240GB model.
I finally installed the 240 GB OCZ Agility 3 SSD in a MacBook Pro early 2011 model. Got it for about $240 at Amazon a few weeks back. I was going to get the 240 GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD, but it was $100 more at that time. I’ll get the better SSD next time.
It goes something like this:
“Dell Inspiron Mini meet Coffee.”
“Coffee, this is Dell Inspiron Mini.”
You know where this story goes next.
I have been given the task of retrieving the data from this Dell Inspiron Mini’s PCIe SSD. Now I need to procure a Mini PCIe to SATA adapter.
It has been more than a year since I first installed SSD on my MacBook Pro. I bought ADATA S599 SSD 128GB back in September 2010 and had to deal with the seemingly anemic storage space. Over the past 15 months I had been installing numerous brands of SandForce-based SSD’s on desktops and laptops; none of them disappoint.
Brands and models I have worked with among many:
I found myself needing more storage space on my MacBook Pro. That means I need a higher capacity SSD. The next logical step is to get a 240GB SSD which would give me enough storage space and still relatively affordable.
Well, it’s time for me to go shopping for SSD.
I stopped by ADATA Technology USA office earlier today. One of the S599 SSD I have was defective and need to be replaced. I opted to do the exchange in person.
Just in case you are wondering what those Chinese characters say, it roughly translates:
Only fools cannot read this.
OK, that was a joke. It literally translates as “DATA”. At least that’s what Google Translate says.
