Is Yoga2 SSD compatible with original Yoga

Does anyone know if the Samsung 256gb SSD that comes in the Yoga2 13 inch. is compatible with the original Yoga 13? I'm looking for an addtional drive to add to the second slot and located one but before purchasing want to make sure it will work in the original Yoga. From what I've read it doesn't seem to be any issues but not 100% and could use some clarification. Thanks

Yes, the drive will fit - it has a 9mm x 2.5" form factor and will fit right into your current hard drive bay. If I were you, I would buy an enclosure for your old hard drive and use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the old drive to the new. See https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4122.
Installing the drive is very simple - you just need a Phillips #00 and a Torx T6 screwdrivers. There are literally hundreds of videos on YouTube that take you step-by-step through the process of installing a SSD into whichever MBP model you have. I've a late 2011 and basically all I had to do was two remove the ten screws on the back panel with the Phillips, unscrew the two-screw bracket with the same Phillips, and remove the four Torx screws that hold the drive in place and reinstall those on the SSD using the Torx screwdriver. It's really a very easy process.
When you have your SSD installed and your old drive in an enclosure, you'll boot from your old drive, use Disk Utility to erase and partition your SSD ("Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition) and use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the old drive to the new. Then select the SSD as your Startup Drive in System preferences and reboot. That's it.

Is OCZ Vertex Turbo 60GB 2.5" SSD compatible with my Mac Pro, or do I need

Is OCZ Vertex Turbo 60GB 2.5" SSD compatible with my Mac Pro, or do I need the Vertex Mac Edition?
I have decided to purchase a SSD to use as a boot drive in the spare optical drive bay.
There are so many brands available, and Intel X25-M 'G2' seems generally to be the most highly rated overall. However, there is virtually no stock of 80GBs in the UK at present, except at extortionate prices, and I don't need 160GB.
Kingston SSDs are very reasonably priced, but seem to be a bit of an unknown quantity, although I rate their DDR3 memory very highly.
I have visited the websites of several manufacturers, and read various online reviews, and the recently introduced OCZ Vertex Turbo has had some good reviews, albeit on PC forums.
At the moment I can buy the 60GB Turbo for £170.66 inc.VAT from ebuyer.com, whereas their price for the standard Vertex 60GB is £193.99 inc. VAT, which seems very strange!
When I googled "OCZ Solid State Drives +UK", Amazon UK appeared on the listings, but there was a footnote which said " not suitable for use on Mac".
OCZ list a Vertex Series Mac Edition on their website, and that is why I am asking this question.
Unfortunately, there are no UK listings when I google the Mac Edition, and I am hoping that somebody of the ilk of "the hatter" or "samsara" will be able to answer my question.
If anybody else is using the Vertex Turbo in a Mac, I would be very grateful for your input. Likewise if you have had bad experiences with OCZ SSDs.
If I wait 3-4 weeks I should be able to buy an Intel X25-M G2 80GB for round about the same price as the Vertex Turbo 60GB, i.e. if prices remain the same as currently being quoted by vendors who are out of stock.
All input will be very gratefully received. If it is positive, I will go ahead and order a Vertex Turbo from ebuyer, in case they run out of stock (which is 16 at present).
Many thanks in anticipation, guys!

Hi Samsara,
Many thanks for your advices once again.
60GB will be more than adequate as my boot drive. At the moment I am using a VelociRaptor 300GB, and I have used less than 30GB of space. That is after reinstalling all my applications and software, and includes all my files, folders, and printer drivers etc.
I have utilised under 50GB of the original 640GB hard drive, but that includes a lot of photo images which I imported into both iPhoto and Aperture.
When I receive my Agility EX SSD I will clone from the VelociRaptor using Super Duper, and I will then set up a 4 drive RAID 0 using 4 VelociRaptor 300GB disks. That set up should suit my needs for many years to come, even when I eventually upgrade from Photoshop Elements 8 to CS5.
I will back up the Agility EX to the 640GB hard drive using Super Duper Smart Update, and that will be my spare boot drive.
The 4 drive RAID 0 will be backed up to the My Book Studio Edition II 2TB, using Time Machine.
In your experienced opinion, do you think that set up will be satisfactory?
The Agility EX is actually the latest generation of OCZ SSDs, and it is one of only 2 models in their "Maximum Performance" range, whereas the original Agility was only a "Mainstream" model.
The key factor is that the Agility EX uses single-level cells (SLC), instead of multi-level cells (MLC). It is second only to the Vertex EX Series in terms of performance per GB in the OCZ range of SATA 2.5" Solid State Drives.
In very recent reviews it has outperformed both the Vertex Turbo and Vertex 120GB models from the OCZ "Performance" range in most of the test benchmarks.
http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/24507-ocz-agility- ex-60gb-ssd-review.html
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=oczagilityex&num=1
http://www.guru3d.com/article/ocz-agility-ex-ssd-60gb-review-test/3
The above are just a few of the very favourable reviews of the Agility EX SSD.
I preferred to buy a 60GB SLC, rather than a 120GB MLC, because SLCs reputedly have 10 times more life expectancy, and performance wise per GB there is no comparison.
Only time will tell if I have made the right decision!

Is a SATA 6Gbp/s SSD compatible with my 2007 MB

Hello,
I was wandering whether a 6Gbp/s SATA 3 SSD is compatible with my 2007 Black MacBook. I know the MacBook is limited to 1.5Gbp/s but I need the speed improvements. Just wandering if the cables are the same and all that.
Thanks in Advance

Is this SSD compatible with my macbook pro

Hello Freinds,
I am planning to upgrade my macbook's hard-disk with SSD.
my Macbook pro model: MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011)
SSD I am planning to buy :: http://www.flipkart.com/samsung-840-series-250-gb-ssd-internal-hard-drive-mz-7td 250bw/p/itmdhwymgyx2htcn?pid=IHDDHWYAFRSNG8GB&ref=9d81c0fa-f452-4314-a68d-3e061a a99184&srno=t_1&otracker=from-search&query=ssd
Can anyone confirm me that this ssd will be compatible with my macbook.

i can't confirm or deny but im leaning towards the no side. Formating is a big issue. it sayd that its is compatible for Win7 and 8 but windows is formated for NTFS and macs can only read on NTFS. Do some more research but i hope i pointed your research.

Is USB Power Charger (M9837LL/A) compatible with original iPhone?

Hi,
I lost my the charger that came with the original iPhone. However, I do have a charger (M9837LL/A) for my iPod. Can I charge my iPhone with this charger? I don't want to try it and then kill the iPhone to get my answer.
Thanks.

Just by the way: pretty much all the iPhone/iPod chargers/car chargers/dock systems out there are safely compatible with the original iPhone.
It's the 3G and 3GS that may not work with older systems/cables.
But any cable with a USB port on the other end should be fine with ALL iphones/ipods.

New Bios update for S10e compatible with original S10?

I saw on S10lenovo that they said the fan problem is now fixed with the new bios, so it runs at a low speed all the time instead of going on and off(which is quite annoying). I was wondering if the bios update is compatible with the original S10? if not, then when will the original S10's bios update be available? Thanks!

If your not familiar with bios updates, be very careful. Make sure your 100% positive its the proper one and it works, flashing an incorrect bios will essentially cripple your system.

Where can I find apps which are compatible with original iphone?

All the apps even twitter and facebook apps on app store say it requires a ios4. Could someone tell me where I can find apps for original iphone

See the response by PC1234 at https://discussions.apple.com/message/19298842#19298842 to see some techniques for doing this with a Google search. You would need to replace the 3.1 with the version of iOs that your original iPhone is using. Your version number can be found under Settings:General:About:Version on your iPhone.

I have an HP Pavilion A6750f I want to put a
OCZ Technology 120 GB Vertex Plus Optimized Edition SATA II 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive OCZSSD2-1VTXPL120G in it will it work Thanks for youre help

I can't see any reason why it shouldn't work. It will work as the pc is a desktop and there are no BIOS whitelists like on laptops. However, this drive might be better: http://www.amazon.com/OCZ-Vertex-Series-2-5-inch-VTXPLR2-25SAT2-120GB/product-reviews/B0085U6U9M/ref...
The drive you want has worse reviews than the R2 version. I would recommend any Corsair SATA II drive. They have high read and write performance plus reliability (reviews and recommendations)..

Replacing my HD- what SSD is compatible with my macbook pro?

Hello- I'm looking for some advice on replacing a faulty hard drive on my Macbook Pro with an SSD.
I'm not sure which unit might best for my needs, if there are any installation issues not covered by ifixit's teardown, and if there are any form factor/power requirements that would preclude certain SSD models. Basically, I've never installed an SSD before and I'm wondering which units are compatible with my machine. Thanks for the help! If there's any other information I need to post so I can figure out which drive to buy, just let me know.

It all depends on what you mean by 'compatible'... many will work just fine, until it's time for a firware update. I really don't know that many folks with OWC SSD's - it seems as if BGreg got a lemon having to downgrade the drive to a 3.0 Gbps drive.
Take a look at my SSD user tip - it has several links that you might find useful - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4741.

How do I know which ssd is compatible with my MacBook Pro..

My MacBook Pro would not boot up. Took it to the Genius Bar and found out that I need a new hard drive. I want to replace it with a Solid State drive, but how do I know which one is compatible with my particular machine?
<Personal Information Edited by Host>

On a late 2008 MBP, you want an SSD that can handle Sata 1/2/3 so it can be used in this machine, and can be migrated all the way to a 2012 SATA machine. Machines later than 2012 primarily use PCIe flash and are not considered user-replacable.
I have used a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB in a 2008 MBP. You can look at Crucial, OWC, Intel, Samsung brands.

I could not decipher which sata is compatible with my macbook, it is 1, 2 or 3, or what should I buy.

Your machine has a SATA III connection, meaning you can get a negotiated link speed of up to 6.0Gbps.
You may want to take a look at my user tip -> Upgrading Your MacBook Pro with a Solid State Drive.
There are dozens of SSDs that would work in your MacBook Pro. You first need to decide what size you want (or need): they're available from 128GB - 1Terabyte.
Personally, I recommend either the Crucial M550 series or the Samsung EVO series. You can get either from a wealth of different sources. I have 4 Crucials now -> 2 mSATA and two standard 2.5" drives. There were some problems with Macs and the EVO series when they were first introduced but they work just fine with Macs now.
Google both drives and find the best prices for the storage that you need. You can't go wrong with either.
Good luck,
Clinton
