Thanks, for your input! I would normally just buy the OWC too but money is now an issue for me. I am on a fixed income (disabled) and my wife lost her job 2+ years ago and no longer collects UC. We have developed a small online business to help pay bills and need a fast reiable drive so I have to do something ASAP and I can't bring myself to put another regular drive in. I have had 4 or 5 standard hard drives go bad in the last 2 years in my various Macs and PCs. But I disgress!
The OWC 240 GB SSD is about $80 more than a similar 256 GB SSD from Crucial. I guess I wish someone could tell me the advantages of the OWC SSD over the Crucial or any other brand for that matter. What am I not getting with the Crucial or other brands that I get with the OWC? Or is it just that the OWC SSDs are priced higher since the drastic price reductions in SSDs has yet to hit the OWC line of SSDs?
I guess what I was hoping is that someone had personal experience with a similar Mac and the Crucial or similar SSD. I tend to believe customer indorsements rather company propaganda. But thanks for your thoughts!
I have been using a Crucial M4 in my Mac Mini late 2007 model and it has been flawless – it also speeds up the computer dramatically.
I am about to fit another M4 into a Late 2009 Mini that I have just purchased and will let you know if I encounter any problems.
I installed a 240 GB OCZ Agility3 SSD in my 2009 Mini about a month ago and am very pleased with the speed increase.
