intel 330 ssd in 2008 MBP Unibody

My old hitachi HDD went on the fritz and I obviously don't want to replace the corrupt hard drive with another hitachi HDD. I'm looking for an SSD to install. I don't need a huge drive because my data's in the cloud for storage so I'm looking at the SSD.


I would like to purchase the intel 330 120gb SSD. Here are my basic specs:


MBP late 2008 unibody

2.8ghz processor

4gb ram

NVIDIA 9600

250gb Hitachi 2.5" HDD (this is the original corrupt drive I want to replace)


-How does TRIM work on the mac? Will I have TRIM issues with the intel 330? How do I go about this?

-Has anyone had any 1.5gb negotiation rate issues? How did you resolve them?

-Any other installation issues I should be aware of and workarounds for them?



Thank you, appreciate your help!

MacBook Pro 15" (Late 2008), 2.8ghz processor, 4gb ram, NVIDIA 9600
