Anyone running 2009 MP with SSD without TRIM?

Does anyone have experience of running a SSD on a 2009 MP, without TRIM, without issues....if so for how long and which model?
Thx

OS X should by this time, but does not implement TRIM across the board, even though SSD has been around for 4 yrs and TRIM support in Windows has been supported since Windows 7 beta over 3 yrs ago. Is it only a matter of throwing a switch to support non-Apple ? that seems to be what TRIM Enabler suggests. Not if Apple is using proprietary firmware.
The SATA 3.1 specifications Queued Trim Command - allows SATA SSDs to execute Trim without impacting normal operation...
http://www.sata-io.org/technology/6Gbdetails.asp
Wikipedia SSD: "includes support for the TRIM command to reduce garbage collection for data which the operating system has already determined is no longer valid. Without support for TRIM, the SSD would be unaware of this data being invalid and would unnecessarily continue to rewrite it during garbage collection causing further wear on the SSD."

MacRumors post: one of the best tutorials on SSDs and TRIM along with BGC.
Garbage Collection (GC) is the process of relocating existing data, deleting stale data, and creating empty blocks for new data
All SSDs will have some form of GC – it is not an optional feature
NAND flash cannot directly overwrite a page with data; it has to be first erased
One full block of pages has to be erased, not just one page
GC starts after each page has been written one time
Valid data is consolidated and written into new blocks
Invalid (replaced) data is ignored and gets erased
Wear leveling mainly occurs during GC
The OS tracks what files are present and what logical blocks are holding the files
SSDs do not understand the file structure of an OS; they only track valid data locations reported by the OS
When the OS deletes a file, it marks the file’s space in its logical table as free - It does not tell the drive anything
When the OS writes a new file to the drive, it will eventually write to the previously used spaces in the table
An SSD only knows data is no longer needed when the OS tells it to write to an address that already contains data
How Trim Works -
The OS sends a TRIM command at the point of file deletion
The SSD marks the indicated locations as invalid data
TRIM Features:
► Prevents GC on invalid data
► Increases the free space known to the SSD controller
TRIM Benefits:
► Higher throughput – Faster host write speeds because less time writing for GC
► Improved endurance – Reduced writes to the flash
Lower write amplification – Less data rewritten and more free space is available • TRIM does not generally work behind a RAID environment
Anandtech 2009 SSD tutorial - http://www.anandtech.com/show/2738/5
keeping 15-20% free will help (or figure how much you write to the drive in a month) seems if you get to 90% full can result in problems. Whether Durawrite or any other controller and firmware.

Is anyone running a OCZ Core SSD?

I have an inconsistency running a OCZ Core SSD with my K9A2 CF.With a regular HDD Samsung HD321KJ no problem whatsoever.
Sometimes the OCZ Core is very fast and sometimes so slow I get a freeze/hiccup for just a split second.
File copy goes sometimes with >80MB/s and sometimes with KB/s
I've made a support ticket with OCZ. It could be the drive is just faulty.

Well, the OCZ NON-Core works just fine with SB600. MSI K9A2 Platinum.....

The SB600 even has higher max throughput as the MCP51...
It's not performance but occassional short freeze with the SB600 that it makes feel perform mediocre with the MLC based SSD.
So IMHO pure a matter of compatibility.

I've contacted MSI. That's no help. I'd guessed that. Obviously not tested (yet) and a matter of luck that it works out of the box.

No it just comes with a Y USB cable.
The drive caddy I got from MCE Tech with the purchase of the Optibay to put the MBP superdrive in also came with a Y USB cable.
Now what does that tell you.
All Slimline DVD drives are the same as far as power requirements. Asus supplies a Y USB cable in case it is needed to fully power the drive.
I have not had to use it on either my Dell notebook or on the MBP.
There is nothing special about the Apple external superdrvie and with slot loading DVD drives if the motor that draws in and ejects the disc fails you throw the drive away.
There is a reason there are very few slot loading DVD drives of any size. You also can't use any mini CDs or DVDs with a slot load drive. Not unless you want to kill it.

CHKDSK fails on fresh install of Windows 7 x64 on mid-2009 MBP with SSD

There was an earlier post about this that has been archived prematurely that I will reproduce below. The main issue is a flaw in the Windows 7 x64 CHKDSK of the SSD drive in the mid-2009 MBP= 5,2. With fresh OSX installs, bootcamp 3.1, Windows 7 x64 all updates, the CHKDSK operation checks files at about 1 per second in stage 4 of 5, verifying file data.
Moderators: please leave this open until it is actually resolved.

Windows 7 x64, MacBook Pro, frequent CHKDSK after HDD firmware update
Posted: Nov 2, 2009 6:45 AM
Hello, I have been having filesystem problems on my Windows 7 partition since the HDD related firmware update (the latest Performance update) was released and installed onto this mid 2009 MacBook Pro.
The HDD is a 500 GB 7200 RPM model, but it never gave me any troubles under OS X before the "fix" and I know other users had intermittent problems with the HDD on their MacBook Pro's related to the HDD making noises and pausing.
The fix was released, I installed it and I started seeing my first problem in Windows 7 x64 a few days after... I cleanly shut the OS down, but when I booted it back it asked me to perform a coherency check to the Filesystem... I thought that the problem was related to the fact that I was using the RC1 build of Windows 7... although that problem never manifested itself in the weeks before the Performance Update (HDD firmware fix) was installed and Windows 7 x64 RC1 had been on there and used frequently.
I recently purchased Windows 7 retail a few days ago and after a bit of trouble-free operation I started having problems again... always shutting the PC down carefully and I was asked to run the CHKDSK utility at boot twice already.
What to do?

Posted: Nov 12, 2009 1:40 AM in response to: Panajev
Hi there,
I have a different experience. I installed Windows 7 before the "performance update 1.0" came out. I actually experienced the chkdsk launch problem with Windows 7. I had done repartitioning and clean-install several times but cannot solve the problem. So I tried to install XP and Vista on my MBA (Mid 2009 with SSD) and found that these two OS doesn't introduce such problem.
To be honest, I'm not sure which caused such problem, Windows 7, a bootcamp driver, or EFI. But I'm sure that CHKDSK in Windows 7 has an obvious bug that needs to be patched (memory leak and maybe this problem as well). So now I'm using Windows Vista SP2. And I'm happy with Vista SP2 (seems to become faster and stable now).
Cheer,

Upgraded my 2009 iMac with ssd drive

Hello
I wanted to share my experience with upgrading my late 2009 iMac replacing the DVD drive with a 240GB SSD drive and upgrading the hard drive to a 3TB hard drive. Back a year ago I upgraded the factory 1TB with a seagate 2TB which was the main internal drive holding the osx. With needing more room I discovered the seagate 3TB also had the necessary heat sensor connector, so I knew that 3TB drive would work. Adding the 240GB SSD was a last minute decision. Plus, I seldom use the factory standard DVD drive and discovered that my LG brand USB dvd drive actually works when attached to the iMac. Operates just like the factory DVD drive.
So having done an upgrade before on this machine, I was not too concerned, but have to add that all did not go well this time.
Alter removing the screen and all the screws, then while carefully unplugging all the wires attached to the monitor, that one plug labeled LCD TEMP, that tiny little plug, broke at the circuit board. I was not using too much pressure and suspect the stress on these delicate connections had reached the limit. Both from the previous upgrade, and now another. The plug was simply stressed and ready to give way.
Maybe this plug was defective, I don't know, but the snap-in plug pulled the top of the black plastic circuit board connector off, exposing the two copper connector prongs. Not only that, but the two copper prongs that were now exposed were curled upward. Making re-attachment of the plug near impossible. So I figured maybe i could re-attach the tiny LCD TEMP plug back onto the exposed prongs and then electrical tape over to hold in-place. But first I had to somehow get the curl out of the two copper connector prongs for the plug to connect.
Well, while using a small screw driver to try to flatten out the curled copper prongs, one copper prong exceeded its stress level and broke off. Could not take the stress of being bent and messed with. Everything inside these machines are extremely delicate, as everyone knows only too well that has ever opened up their imac.
And now, a broken LCD TEMP circuit board connector. What to do, what to do?
Kill two birds with one stone.....
But first I wondered if this LCD TEMP sensor would keep the system from operating, so I put the machine back together, half way together, and powered it up.
The machine came to life, however, the CPU fan was running crazy fast 3800 and noisy as ****.
Googling this, I came across another person that had the same LCD TEMP cable break, and saying their CPU fan went crazy in the same way.
So I realized somehow the system needed this LCD TEMP connector, connected.
What to do, what to do?
I ran over to radio shack and bought the lowest wattage soldering iron they sold.
Now, this killing two birds with one stone part...
I had to somehow solder two new wires onto the spot where this LCD TEMP board connector attached to the circut board.
No easy task since there was only a hair-lines space between the two circuit board connectors. I had to somehow achieve the impossible.
And while at it, killing off the second bird, I could replace this LCD TEMP wire itself with new much longer wire set, making this disassemble - reassemble thing much easier.
Well I pulled it off.
I was able to solder two new wires to the spots on the circuit board where this LCD TEMP connector sits.
Without bleeding solder onto the partner connector just a hairs-line spaced between.
Then I patched in this new and longer pair of wires from the circuit board LCD TEMP to the monitor LCD TEMP sensor.
And finally, replaced the DVD drive with the new 240GB SSD drive, slapped the machine back together half way just enough to power it up, cloned the osx hard drive to the SSD drive, "option-restart" the machine and booted from the new SSD drive, everything working as it should.
I even dismounted the orginal internal hard drive holding the osx, and ran the system to ensure everything worked, which it did.
Next, tore the iMac back down, replaced the 2TB hard drive with a new 3TB hard drive, and for a final time slapped the system back together.
Everything is operating perfect,
Naturally, had to format the new 3TB hard drive, and will move all my iTunes media back to that new drive I had temporally stored on an external USB drive.
Fans are all running at normal speeds.
System is once again silent when running.
And this is the last and final time I will ever upgrade this particular machine sober.
Just some advice, this is some of the unforeseen mishaps that can occur when upgrading any iMac.
And this could have ended in disaster.
Luckily however, I had just enough luck and experience to get thru the hurdles, now I have a better, bigger, faster iMac.
Like they say, this self upgrading is not for the faint of heart.
For awhile I seen myself listing this on eBay as a dead 27" late 2009 iMac for sale for parts.
Not the case, well at least not the case this time....

Congratulations on not panicing and stating it like it is. Clearly upgrading the internals of an iMac is not for the faint of heart, I plan on keeping your post if for no other reason to show others why a do-it-yourself on an iMac is a pretty foolish thing to undertake.

Anyone running Tiger & Retrospect with an iSight?

I do support work for a user who has an iMac 800Mhz and an iSight camera. He also has a LaCie external (FireWire) hard drive and we use Retrospect 6 to do backups to file-based sets on that drive. Recently, we upgraded the station to Tiger (and did the corresponding Retrospect upgrade for 10.4 compatibility). Ever since then, the nightly backups get intermittent failures, reporting read errors (bad media) when trying to verify writes to the hard drive. I've bantered with LaCie tech support about this; they've had me update the firmware on the drive, and I even went so far as to reformat the hard drive (using Tiger's version of Disk Utility) but the problem keeps coming back. Even though the drive is under warranty, LaCie won't exchange it based upon only Retrospect having read errors. They've asked me to do all sorts of other testing, like attaching it to another computer, try another FireWire cable, copy large sets of files (1GB+) back-and-forth to the drive. It seemed like rigmarole to me.
But I posted a question about this to the Dantz forum, and he says this problem happens to him -- but only if he's left his iSight also plugged into the iMac! We're not daisy-chained here; I have the LaCie drive in one port and the iSight in another -- but I'm wondering if anyone else out there can confim having this problem on their systems? If so, anyone know if it is supposed to be fixed in a future update?

Hello CC and Paul.
Welcome to Apple Discussions, CC.
I am sorry to hear that you are having these problems. Most of us who upgraded from 10.3.9 (a mature OS X version) to Tiger 10.4 (the initial release of the version) immediately noted that all was not well. Try the good suggestions already posted in response to your problems. If they do not get you sorted, here follow my best ideas.
As does everyone else, I expect that things will continue to improve as the updates are issued, but until then, the best I can offer is my suggestions for making the current version of Tiger work as well as I can. I also offer my work arounds for the remaining problems.
First, I suggest that
b everyone
update to the latest version of the Mac OS they use. 10.3.9 and 10.4.2 both offer significant improvements over their predecessors. If you do not already have a well tried and good method of updating, see How I Update My Mac OS X.
Then,
b everyone
should also try the
b GREAT
suggestions above regarding updating to the current firmware and software versions on
b everything
that is giving trouble. Apple covers Mac, the OS, Apple applications, and iSight with Software Updater. However, you will need to check and update all 3rd party hardware and software separately. Many 3rd party apps require updating for compatibility with new OS X version updates. Some patience may be required because development of the 3rd party updates can take a while. In the meantime, 3rd party questions that are not quickly resolved in Apple Discussions are likely best resolved in the 3rd party Support Pages or their dedicated discussions forums.
I have no help to offer to those who must keep iSight, TV or other AV devices, external drives, and other Firewire devices all connected to their Macs all the time. As explained in the Possible hardware or software conflicts with iSight. FAQ, I use iSight by itself.
iSight's demand for a solo connection to my Mac is not new to Tiger. It worked exactly the same for me in Panther, even in 10.3.9. I must
b unplug.
Nothing else works for me. See How to turn iSight (really) off.
Those who have healthy Macs (Mac OS X maintenance), should not need a telephone to ask someone to connect iSight. iChat AV can run without iSight. In fact, I normally leave my iSight unplugged. A text or audio message asking to plug in iSight when convenient works for me. (You may need to reset the
b iChat > Preferences... > Video > Microphone
to "iSight Built-In" after you connect your iSight.)

Anyone Running Two Macs with Logic?

Just wondering how much time it saves and more power it gives...I have a Dual 2G and was thinking of one of the new Intels and using OSX's built in networking, with adat out of the second Mac back to my Fireface.
I'm just trying to get a handle on how much help this would be to me, DSP wise, etc. I know I could put some of the VSL library on it, or whatever...
I'm also a little confused about whether doing it like this is different than using the LOGIC node thing, and if so, which would help me more. I tend to use a lot of plug ins, some of which aren't LOGIC's.
Thanks
Tom

X: Basically, Justin has given the info on LAN MIDI.Regarding the hardware route: just think of the slave computers as hardware synths,and you're near the mark. For example, on my DP 2.0 I run a single MOTU MIDI Express,giving me 8 ports.That is then connected to one of my AMT 8's.The only problem with that is V-Stack is capable of supporting 16x16,so to take full advantage, you'd have to double the number of MIDI interfaces.So,for that one computer alone you would require 4 MIDI interfaces. That's when hardware starts to become unwieldy. And expensive. I have five AMT/Unitors and a MOTU, but really don't wish to acquire more;so I'm going to take a look at MIDI over LAN. Maybe the answer is a hybrid configuration.
Regarding getting the sound out. Each slave computer has a soundcard: in my case the excellent Hammerfalls. I take the ADATs out of those into the Quad's rig of MOTU's. The audio i/o's on each are freely configurable in both the Hammerfall's software and the V-Stack's/Kore's and all other standalone instruments. It's way, way more powerful and flexible than the node method.
Hope this helps.

Anyone running their iMac with 512 MB or one 1 GB or one with 1,5 GB RAM?

Please follow these instructions as I am curious on what your iMac will respond with.
I ran the test and it came no answer, but after removing part of the arguments i finally located this string in the result:
"reg" = <00000000000000400000000000000040>
This could obviously mean that I indeed have 2 64 bits wide registers working simultaneously. Can someone out there with "unmatched pair" run the test and report about the result?
Type this string at the terminal:
ioreg -p IODeviceTree -n memory -S
and look for the row:"+-o memory <class IOService>"
If this returns either "reg" = <00000000000000000000000000000040> or "reg" = <00000000000000400000000000000000> then I am on the right track to know if the system runs in dual channel mode.
Thanks in advance.

Of course I could just remove one of my 1 GB RAM modules, but I thought it would be much simpler if someone else meeting the criteria would be kind enough to share their results with me. The procedure doesn´t harm the computer. It would be a very stupid thing to post such a thing. Of course I´ll also mark the answers as helpful or solved when I have enough replies.

Anyone Running Aperture 3, One library with 150,000+ Photos?

Would like to now if anyone is running Aperture 3 with a very large Library? Ideally I would like to hear from anyone running one library with 150,000 images or more.

Aperture Applets Blog Posts

You'll not have any trouble with most processes on any dual-core 2GHz Mac with 4 or more GB RAM. (With only 4 GB, you shouldn't run any other programs when Aperture in running.)
Sharing Previews is a no-no (but IME it is the single biggest bog-field in the app). Load time will go up. Faces may become slow. It will take A LONG TIME (days) for Aperture to finish all its initial internal processing. Search the forum for general suggestions on keeping Aperture running well.
I built up a test library of 250,000 images just to make sure. I was able to run this Library off of an external FW400 drive (the whole Library, not just the Masters) on a 2.3 GHZ dual-core laptop w. 4 GB RAM.
I have since put together a database of 350,000+ images. It runs fine. I'd say it runs "normal" on all machines, as long as operations are kept to 100 images or so. Relocating a quarter-million Masters will take some time. Moving 10,000 images into new Projects, or moving those Projects into new Albums, can take a few minutes (but under ten).
You should set aside a week for the import and all the processing. I strongly suggest turning Faces off until the Library is structured and working (you've made most major changes and you've not stumbled across any glitches). Then you can turn Faces on and let it run in the background for a few days. I suggest NEVER turning on "Share Previews". YMMV.
My experience w. a 350,000 image Library leads me to believe that it could handle 10x that. The breakdown of the work seems to have been well-engineered to fit the currently available pipelines. But -- the faster your machine, the faster Aperture will run. Tony Gay and I compared his PowerMac with my MacBookPro for some Aperture tasks -- his was twice as fast.

Jack, as Curt has suggested, available drive space comes well down the list regards a happy experience with Photoshop. You have also asked a self-defeating question, because the fact you are running Vista, and a 32bit version at that, more or less precludes the ability to run without problems.
Windows 7 was billed as the first MS OS to need less system resources than its predecessor. If your system hardware will support 64bit, then consider paying $90 for an OS upgrade What is your system out of interest? I have a feeling you are running with just 2Gb RAM, which just isn’t enough. Post your specs or make and model, and I am sure you’ll get some help with what your mainboard will handle by way of RAM and whether it will support 64bit.

Anyone running 2009 MP with SSD without TRIM?
