hi aqibarain,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Depending on your budget, consider the following in purchasing an SSD:
- SSD Brand
- NAND (MLC, TLC, SLC) / NAND Controller
- Firmware updates
- Reviews on the drive (Reliability / MTBF, Warranty, etc.)
I personally use an OCZ Vertez 450 as it fits my budget without sacrificing the speed but check this list for more choices.
More info:
MLC, eMLC, SLC, TLC

Best ssd drive for MBP

Hi
Was wanting to fit a fit a SSD drive to my 2012 MBP,Havent really any knowledge about SSD,was looking a fair sized drive and wanted the OS on it,do I have to buy a new OS to do this,I would not be carrying out this myself,could anybody please give me a rough estimate of what this would cost to do in £'s...
Thank You

I would go for a Samsung 840 Pro Series as they are highly rated. I suggest checking amazon.co.uk for pricing and gettng the biggest one you can budget (i.e. the 512GB drive). The non-pro 840 series is also rated well but uses newer NAND technology and is slower writing data. Not sure who would do this work in the UK for you.
If you do decide to do it yourself, installation is pretty easy on the mid-2012 MacBook Pro. Just need a #00 philips and a T6 torx driver and the ability to be careful and follow directions closely. Insturctions can be found here on ifixit's site.
Regarding the OS installation, I suggest getting a USB external enclosure for your old drive and using a utility such as Carbon Copy Cloner to copy your existing OS onto the new drive which will retain everything as is and you'll be back up and running in no time. Otherwise you'll need some sort of bootable installation media to boot from in order to format the new SSD and install Mac OS X.
Good luck!

Looking at External SSD Drive for Lightroom Editing - How Can I Set This Up and Which Drive?

I'd like to purchase an external SSD drive for Lightroom editing and am hoping somebody can provide a recommendation for me.
I'm using a FW800 G-Drive to store my Lightroom Library and have been using this drive to edit. I'd like to add an external SSD drive for editing photographs an am looking for recommendations on which drive and the best way to set this up. I plan on having a 3rd (and maybe 4th) to save both the FW800 files and working SSD drive files as a backup.
Any recommendations are sincerely appreciate.

I believe I was loading a preview file to 100%. I think maybe I should just use what I have and work with it. It's much faster than my 7 year old MBP performed that's for sure.
I was just wondering if I could spend a few hundred for an external Thunderbolt or USB 3 drive to speed up my productivity. With the full time job and the kids, I have a little time to work on photography. I'd love to increase my output. I'm more than willing to spend the money on the TB or USB 3 if it would help.
The specs on the camera say 24.1 million pixels: 24.6 MB. The raw files are

256GB SSD drive for T61?

Could someone recommend a 256GBSSD drive for T61, for example will TP 256GB Fde Solid State Drive Part# 43N3417 work on this Thinkpad model?
Thanks in advance,
Leonid

Hi. I have essentially the same question as the original poster, with a couple of related questions about hard drive compatibility.
I have a T61 model 64608VU, Windows XP Pro, with a 160 GB 7200rpm SATA drive now.
I would like to migrate to a (as large as possible) SSD drive for the primary drive, and a 2nd (as large as possible) hard disk drive as a secondary in an adapter in the optical drive bay. But, I'm getting conflicting information from the Lenovo site.
The product compatibility matrix says that my model should be compatible with the 500 GB 5400 SATA drive (43N3420), 500 GB 7200 SATA drive (43N3423) and 128 GB SSD drive (43N3406), but not the 256 GB FDE SSD drive (43N3417). The 128GB SSD is a new choice, when I checked a few months back it wasn't shown as compatible.
The product pages for many of those drives list models that they are compatible with, and do not include T61. Some don't even come up as choices if I enter 64608VU as my model numbers, others do but the text on the page lists models they work with and it doesn't include mine.
So, which info to trust?
I can more easily understand a "supports FDE or not" tradeoff because it requires a BIOS that knows how to talk to that feature, but I can't quite figure why a 500GB 5400rpm drive would be OK but a 500GB 7200rpm wouldn't, unless it was heat load or something. Might be a different answer in the optical bay vs primary drive?
Anyway, this is what I'd like to do:
1) Start with the T61, model 64608VU
2) Buy a SATA drive adapter 40Y8725, with the largest SSD drive I can get, ideally with FDE as well
3) Install it, clone my existing drive over to it, and move the SSD drive into my primary drive slot and put aside my old drive.
4) Buy a new SATA drive, as large as is compatible with my machine, and install it into the 2nd drive bay in the 40Y8725.
Questions are: does this make sense, any gotchas, and what are the largest drives I can use that work on my machine?
2nd order question: I'm hoping that if I use the 2nd drive for media, and aren't using it, it will spin down, so my battery life will be better than it was before (since I've replaced a running 160GB drive with a SSD + a spun down larger drive). Make sense? Also, if I just use it for streaming media, any value to 7200rpm or should I just stick with 5400rpm since it will probably use less power?
Thanks for any assistance, greatly appreciated!

I have a MAC Pro from 2011 currently running MAC OS 10.9.5. This weekend I cloned the MAC HD drive to a new SSD drive for improved performance. The clone was completed successfully with no errors. After the clone completed I successfully restarted my system using the SSD as the boot device. I then successfully tested all of my products, including Photoshop CS6 and all of its plug-ins. I successfully tested the key features that I frequently use. Today while attempting to launch Photoshop CS6 a message is being displayed indicating that a scratch disk cannot be found. All drives are available on the system via the Finder and Disk Utility. I can access all drives including the old MAC HD which is no longer the boot device. I've even attempted to launch Photoshop from the old device yet the same error persist. Is there a way to review/edit/change Photoshop preferences if Photoshop doesn't launch? I've even restarted my system several times to see if that would resolve the issues. Does anyone have any recommendations for this issue? Have you previously address this issue?
Thank you Gregg Williams

Best hard drive for use with Time Machine

Hi,
Has anyone determined what the best external hard drive is for use with Time Machine? Is there a particular one that works exceptionally well with Time Machine, or is it much of a muchness?
I'm looking for a Firewire 400 & Firewire 800 drive that STAYS ON all the time, and doesn't automatically spin down or spin up like the rubbish WD My Book drives do.

I can't tell you if it is the "best" hard drive for you to use with TM, but I'm quite happy with the 500 GB Buffalo Technology DriveStation Combo TurboUSB I bought recently. It is quiet, quite inexpensive for the capacity (I paid about $120 for one on sale at Fry's), & completely compatible with OS X & TM.
Best of all for me, it automatically powers down when my iMac sleeps. It also spins down after a time if the Mac's Energy Saver preference "Put hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" is checked; otherwise it remains spun up until the Mac is put to sleep or switched off.
It comes with "Turbo" USB & Memeo "AutoBackup" software, neither of which I installed. (The box didn't claim these extras came in a Mac version but both Mac & Windows versions were included on the CD.) Out-of-the-box, I reformatted the drive with the Apple Partition Map scheme & two partitions, a 160 GB one for cloning my internal drive & the rest for TM. The drive works perfectly for both uses & seems quite fast, as one would expect from a 7200 rpm SATA drive.

i did format to my computer and reinstall windows XP and now i don't have audio, i already downloaded all drivers from lenovo website and nothing is working. pls pls help. thank's.

If you are using Windows Vista go to All Programs/Palm and click on the folder and select Hot Sync Manager and then try to sync with the USB cable. If you are using the Windows XP go to Start/Programs/Palm/Hot Sync Manager and then try to sync. If you don’t have the palm folder at all on your PC you have to install it. Here is the link http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/33219_en.html that version 4.2.1 will be working for your device Zire 72.

Any recommendations would be great. Need about 1TB.

The most recent is 1TB, and cost about the same as the previous one which was 500GB. The first d2 was only a little cheaper and was 60GB!
Same experience here! They keep the price about the same but you get double the storage, so the price of storage has been going down big time! But now I find myself ******* after Drobo Hey, that editor whacked me for "l u s t i n g" that isn't foul language is it?

SSD Drives for Older PowerMacs

Hi,
I've seen that you can buy SSD drives for older Macs. I didn't even realise this could be done until I saw OWCs website.
I'm wondering if anyone has tried them in a G5 PowerMac? Is there any real noticeable increase in performance?
I have a 2005 Dual 2Ghz G5 Powermac with 4GB RAM and running Leopard 10.5.8. It takes an age to start up, in fact it's that long I go and make a cup of tea while it boots up!! Generally it feels slow too. Would an SSD Drive make it boot faster?
Kind Regards
Dave

False information is determined by the fact your information is false.
Did I say ALL SATA Rev. 3 drives?
You said most, which is false.
IF you had more experience and time on this forum
I'm sorry about having a life, I don't sit in front of a computer screen all day as you do.
you would know that there have been many posts regarding this issue
There have been many posts about G5's LCS leaking, does this mean its a common problem or that several individuals out of the tens of thousands sold have wandered onto the Internet to report their problem?
I have owned three with zero issues.
Rather than spend so much effort trying to find fault with information, how about researching your claims and then provide substantiated information on top of your experience?
You should heed your own words.
There are many PPC machines that can boot from external USB drives, USB 1.1 or USB 2.0.
Correct, they require the user to manually change the boot order in openfirmware. That is not native booting, a drive cannot be used as a normal boot disk in that manner.
There are also some that can't, notibly the G5.
The G5s are specifically ones that CAN boot from USB using the method mentioned above.

Will they install an SSD drive for me?

Hello,
I'm thinking of buying a 2.5" SSD drive for my Intel-based iMac - will the Apple Store install it and move my existing HD to the slave bus for me? I've still got AppleCare left.
If so, how much would they charge me for?
Also, is there an eSATA solution for iMacs?
Thanks
Georgios

The simple answer is no they will not because it's not something they sell. Also I don't believe a 2.5" SSD will fit, the bay is designed for 3.5" hd's. Regarding eSATA drives, again your iMac does not have an SATA port on the back so it will not support an eSATA drive, however if you have an iMac with a FW 800 port that would fine, while not as quick as SATA it's a good solution.
If you still want to go down the SSD path then you can look to see if there are any repair centers in your area that will do the work. That being said if your machine is covered by warranty I'm pretty sure installing a SSD drive would void it.
Regards,
Roger

Best non-SSD drive for early 08 Sata I?

Hello everyone, what would be the best non-SSD HD for an early 08 machine? I'm currently still using the 5400 250GB one that came with this machine so I'd imagine any current drive would be a huge step up from this one in terms of speed despite being held back by SATA I. I would like for this machine to be used as a on the road Final Cut/Soundtrack so I'd prefer at least a 500GB drive.
What would you all reccomend in the 7200 speed range? Should I bother with the Momentus XT hybrids or just stick with a traditional drive?

I agree with Templeton Peck, there is no 'best' drive.
Kappy's suggestions of Seagate drives is valid (I use them without any problems to date) but I would be hesitant about the hybrid version. There have been issues reported in the past and personally I question the cost/benefits they afford. I would rather spend the money on a 750GB 7200RPM drive instead, especially if you are going to do a lot of video work.
Remember that when you replace an internal HDD, you back up (Time Machine) drive should be at least the same capacity, thus you should think in terms of two HDDS.
Though you did not mention in your post, consider adding RAM if you have not done so already.
Ciao.

Is a SSD drive for a new Mac Pro "worth it"?

I will be purchasing a new Mac Pro quad-core in the next month or so. My computer usage, other than email and some word processing, consists primarily of editing RAW photo files using Nikon Capture NX2, Photoshop Elements, and iPhoto. I do almost nothing with video. Would a SSD boot drive offer me any significant advantage over a 1 TB hard drive? Would it appreciably speed up photo editing of the RAW files, or simply boot faster? If you do recommend one, what size would I need for a boot drive to contain the OS and all program software? I will be upgrading from my current G5, so I suspect anything will initially seem very fast. Thanks!

It depends on just how dependent on disk I/O your software is. Hard drives are still, by far, the slowest link in the performance chain for a computer. If your software is primarily CPU bound and goes to the hard drive very little, you won't notice the benefits of an SSD that much. I use Apple's Aperture, and Aperture is VERY sensitive to disk speed for the volume where your library file is. There are several key databases in the library package that are extremely sensitive to disk performance and particularly file fragmentation.
I have an OWC Mercury Extreme SSD that I use for my operating system and applications, and then I have a RAID 0 of three Western Digital Hard drives for my Aperture library. RAID 0 is striping with no parity. Since there is no parity and no protection from hardware failure, I back up with TimeMachine, manual copies and I also use Mozy.com for automatic offline backups.
The machine boots nearly instantly, and application launching is extremely fast. Most programs show a definite improvement and overall I am very pleased with the configuration.
However, Aperture's library databases are extremely prone to fragmentation. There is a noticeable and significant increase in performance every time I defrag my aperture volume with iDefrag, and if I have a really long editing session I can notice performance degrading over time.
Right now my workflow with Aperture is pretty sporadic, so defragmenting routinely isn't that big of an issue. However, I anticipate getting into Aperture more as I start photographing more projects. I think if that happens, I will probably get a second SSD and also finally convert my Aperture library from managed to referenced. Apple has added features in Aperture 3 so that referenced libraries aren't that big of a PITA, so I should be able to keep the Aperture databases on the SSD and reference my masters on my RAID drive. Best of all worlds.
Also do not buy the SSD from Apple. Right now the only viable SSD's are ones that do internal garbage collection like the OWC Mercury Extreme. See my other post here for the ups and downs of SSDs:
