Pretty much anything, whether SATA III PCIe SSD / PCIe-SSD blade + adapter.


The newest non-AHCI Intel 750 PCIe-SSD is only device that is NOT supported, not in or on any Mac in any form.

I am partial to Samsung - EVO 850 ($99 250GB) or XP941 and SM951 devices ($25 adapter, $250 256GB device - 800-1500MB/sec)

Blades w/ adapters are of course the fastest possible devices.


You need a controller (not adapter) and SATA III PCIe to get the most out of an SSD otherwise. (500MB/sec vs 250MB/sec on the native SATA II drive bay)


Any SSD is going to make a difference. And 250GB makes a nice boot drive (user data.media on 2nd drive)
