I have a macbook pro 2009, 2.26 GHz processor, 8 GB of RAM, and 3 gigabit SATA (1.5 negotiated).

Is this ssd compatible with my set up?

probably not. i had one bad experience with Samsung 830.

but then i am far from certain either way.

i do know that crucial m4 worked for me.

I personally have replaced my Macbook Pro Mid-2009 Disk drive with a Samsung 840 Pro series SSD (256GB) and have had no issues with the drive. Originally I cloned information to the drive then made a split partition for back-up of the first drive then overflow and the drive has performed seamlessly. I'd had to say you can't go wrong on the price in comparison to what you get, I personally bought mine from Staples Business Depot and got a great deal on it. It isn't the fastest drive in comparison to some on the market, however, the difference was noticeable enough on the performance side that I'm not going to argue.

Hi,

I have the same MacBook Pro from 2009 and also installed the Samsung SSD 840 PRO 256GB, but i still get the same results as msim20 did, see above. The disc should be able to write 520 and read 540, but I onlu get the half of that. Is there some way to improve this? Otherwise the disc works well! TRIM is on.

now I have ca 192 write and 260 read. but that is far from the 520-540 ...

berglcl1,

I don't know of any commercial drive that's actually going to get those read/write speeds! You're also constrained by the fact that you've only SATA II (3.0Gbps) connectivity so you're not going to get the full speed of the Samsung 840 Pro's SATA III negotiated speed.

I think that you're looking pretty good, actually. You've a very fine SSD and it seems as if you're getting the full speeds possible.

**** A note for all using a older chiset.

If you have a Sata 2 controller like the Nivida MCP 7, most of you depending on the OS X vesion, will see a link speed of 3g, but a negociated speed of 1.5.

This is something in OS X causing it, you should have a negociated speed of 3g.

You can try making a Mac bootable tools from OCZ tools, and running the FIX LINK SPEED.

With a OCZ drive this changes it from 1.5 to 3g and goes from a SEQ READ of 112 too 220 per say.

The OCZ Vector, Vector 150, are at the top for fastest SSD on the market, there is no winner in a SSD as each SSD has it's sweet spot in different areas of READ & WRITE.

Refering to the top SSD's, in the OS you won't see a difference between the Vector, Sam 830, Scan pro 2, or few others.
