FileVault 2 - Safe for SSD?

Hi,
Is it safe to use FileVault 2 on an SSD that has been installed after purchase, not an SSD that came with the MacBook?
Can FileVault be undone if the performance is no good?
Thanks.

Yes and yes.

  • Is Fan Control Safe for your MacBook Pro?

    Im just wondering if Fan Control is safe for your MacBook.
    does anyone here have an experience using it?

    smcFanControl works fine. It won't hurt anything. You can't slow the fans down below the factory default setting.

    Do Not post stuff about how Airplay doesnt work, because i dont have Apple TV and dont need to hear about it.

    If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.

  • Is there a compatibility guide for SSDs in the late 2011 macbook pro model?

    Is there a compatibility guide for SSDs in the late 2011 macbook pro model? I'm looking to purchase a 15.4" Late 2011 Macbook pro and was looking a SATA3 SSD that was supported (outside of the ones provided by Apple). Does anyone have any success stories they wish to share? I assume the problem with secondary bay and SATA3 has still not been resolved.

    Have you looked at the OWC web site?  They specialize in Mac peripherals and they have a good line of SSDs and secondary bays as well.  My experience with them has been good but I am not ready for SSDs.  For my needs the cost/benefits are not there.
    Ciao.

    I'd go a little farther than Peter and say, "No, it's not safe."
    And I'd go a little farther and say, "No, it's not safe," and ask the question of why they didn't just buy the color they wanted in the first place

  • Title Safe for video..

    So I just looked at a sample of my project on a TV and its cut off. What I'm doing now is exporting, re importing to FCE, turning on title safe, and scaling the entire video down to that first border (in between the 2 lines). Will that solve the problem or will it give me a black line around the video on a TV?
    To illustrate what I'm talking about: If this is a segment of title safe (the tv safe and title safe lines)
    | v | + | v | The v is where I'm scaling my video boarder to.

    The approach is correct, but the amount of scaling is very dependent on the TV. If you scale it to the second internal blue rectangle in the canvas (title safe) for sure you'll also have a black border around your video. In my experience it is sufficient to think of a rectangle slightly larger than the larger rectangle. But as I said it depends on the TV.
    In my opinion the best approach is to avoid titles to exceed the title safe area, and important action to be close to the borders.
    If you can connect your Mac to your TV using firewire (and a A/D converter - your camcorder might be used for that), you may monitor the effect of scaling directly on the TV during editing.

  • Is it safe for iPhone to run alarm clock app and be on all night, every night?

    Is it safe for the screen to be on all night every night running an alarm clock app? Yes it is plugged in and charging.

    I use the builtin alarm clock app all the time without any problems.
    I don't plug the iPhone in because it appears to use very little battery while it is sleeping.

  • Erase free space  in Disk  Utilities grayed out for SSD

    Is it normal that this function (erase free space) does not work for a SSD? It is grayed out on my iMac for SSD not for the 1 TB HDD.
    Now that I installed Lion and Trim is working (on  original Apple SSD) in my iMac I would like to erase free space. I read somewhere that you should do this if you did not have the Trim option before and you do have it now. Or is this BS?

  • What is the best way to make an IPad mini safe for kids?

    I am looking to purchase an IPad Mini for my son who is 9years old. I am hoping to find out what settings or software I can employ to help make the internet safer for him. He would like to search his ideas and projects but i am concerned about what inappropriate things he may stumble upon. Any help?

    There are some restrictions you can make. Settings>General>Restrictions.
    See also the manual:
    https://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    But, realistically, if you give your child access to the internet, they will, eventually stumble upon something you might find inappropriate. As with any tool that could potentially be dangerous but that you want your child to learn how to use, proper supervision is key.
    Best of luck.

  • SQL Server NTFS allocation unit size for SSD disk

    Hi,
    I have read that the recommended NTFS allocation unit size for SQL Server generally is 64 kb since data pages are 8 kb and SQL Server usually reads pages in extents which are 8 pages = 64 kb.
    Wanted to check if this is true also for SSD disks or if it only applies to spinning disks?
    Also would it make more sense to use an 8 kb size if wanting to optimize the writes rather than reads?
    Please provide some additional info or reference instead of just a yes or no :)
    Thanks!

    Ok thanks for clarifying that.
    I did a test using SQLIO comparing 4kb with 64kb when using 8kb vs 64kb writes/reads.
    In my scenario it seems it doesnt matter if using 4kb or 64kb.
    Here are my results expressed as how much higher the values were for 64kb vs 4kb.

  • Hi can anyone tell me about SAF for  solutiondatabase in icwc

    Hi ,
    Can anyone tell me about how to configure SAF  for the solution database in ICWC.What are the steps required to customize the enterprise intelligence for SAF for useing solution/knowledge  database in CRM.
    Harish rentla

    Hi
    upon setting up SAF in the enterprise intelligence area you need to create the subject profile for the solution database for the maintanence of problems and solutions with the damage code location code and reasons codes and you need to do full indexing for the SDB for problems and solutions after pairing (joining)the 1 problem with one solution. you can access TREXADMIN transaction type for the trex config settings to view the index table status.
    Trex RFC connectivity needs to be established between SAP and CRM systems then only you can use the wizard for the SAF tool to customise
    please do reward points if helpful

    There are a number of extremly dubious sites which claim to offer Drivers for common Hardware, but actually are phishing for identies and credit card numbers and candidates to join a bot-net.
    Make absolutely certain you load drivers ONLY from the manufacturer's web site.
