This is essential for proper SSD operation since OSX leaves TRIM support off by default on third-party drives.^^ is what I kept hearing before I got my drive, so I installed TRIM enabler….

Oh, and last point: MAKE SURE you download and install TRIM Enabler for OSX. Filling it up to the brim will slow it down dramatically.

It's good practice to leave 50% of the SSD free (for a system/applications drive at least). If you go the SSD route, also keep in mind that their speed partly depends on how much free space you have on them. but you are right, there is a lot of conflicting info out there that makes one tread carefully.

Also not sure if my putting it in the empty slot of where another optical drive would go on my mac tower creates a different set of problems then putting it in one of the 4 bays etc, but has been working fine so far… knock on wood…. I too was confused by a lot of the third party SSD talk on macs, 2 months ago when I got my 1tb drive for my tower, there was a lot of talk about enabling "trim" and whatnot, which i did, with a third party app called chameleon (?), and got on with it, hopefully didn't hose my future life in the process….
(it's a second hand unit)… and is working fine… so not sure. But I cant find a definitive answer.Īnd now Im beginning to read all about whether you should use one SSD for everything or not, again people are divided! Ahhh the internet I believe I am typing right now on a 2011 macbook pro with a 256gb sata3 drive my friend installed.
What Ive read is that using some Sata III 6gb hard drives in the optical drive of macbook pros from 2011 can actually cause serious problems, not just Sata II speeds. So I would risk it, worst thing that could happen is that you have a big sad drive, and have to get a smaller cheaper one for the system…. But my friends who work primarily on laptops, and make them do some pretty heavy lifting, usually function pretty well recording sessions etc onto the same drive the system is on, but it probably depends on a lot of things… like if samples are pre-buffering, page outs/ins from system stuff while laying down audio perhaps bottlenecking, which would probably rely on your bus speed etc… sorry I can't give you a definitive answer, there are probably more on here way more educated on your setup then I, but I have seen it work apparently without a lot of fuss…. I may be part of an old guard with reasons that may or may not still exist depending on your macs bus speed, etc… that tend to prefer having those things separate…. I have a tendency on my laptop to kinda go all on one situation usually, but I don't record much other then sketches on it. I have done so much research and as always with the internet, so many different views!!Ĭheers for the help guys, any more info appreciatedI think that sata3 drives will work with sata2 enclosures, (at least my 1tbEVO840 does….), so I wouldn't worry about that, just probably won't be as fast. Im just wondering as SSD's are so fast, if I just got a single 1tb SSD to run everything, would I run into problems, bottlenecking etc? I would like the simplicity of one drive, and to not have any spinning disks. So I would have to get a Sata II hard drive in the optical bay.
I think the problem with Sata III 6gb hard drives of any sort are with certain macbook pros, like mine the 2011 15'' one. Is there any slow down from having a 1tb SSD as opposed to a smaller 256gb ssd for instance? Or any other potential problems Im overlooking? Also, there are various problems with my macbook pro 2011 and Sata III Hard drives in the Optical bay, so I would have to get Sata II, not sure if that matters really. So yes there is a £150 difference.īut can you see advantages to one or the other? My feeling is just to have one hard drive for everything, feels simpler. Or I could get the 256gb version for £115, and then a 1TB HDD for about £80. But that shouldnt be for 5 or 10 years.Īs far as money goes. I know SSD's die too, and instantly, but atleast all the data is recoverable, they just cant write anymore. It would be nice to not worry about the spinning disk failing, or if I drop/knock it and scratch the platter etc.
