Just Bought 13 Inch MBP - Can I Install 3rd Party SSD w/o SATA Bottlenecks

Apparently, it has shipped with Boot ROM Version: MBP55.00AC.B03
In reading the posts, this appears to have the EFI 1.7 firmware.
Can I install a Crucial 128GB SSD drive and get 3GB speeds? Or am asking for problems?
Any help would be appreciated.
thank you

Firstly if you get 3 GB per second speed you will have broken all records to date I think. 3 Gb would be the best to hope for. Sorry, I just had to be my smartaxx self to get my day started.
I have no help for you but since no one else is responding, my SuperTalent 256GB SSD would not work fore more than an hour or so, depending on how hard the drive was working, with the EFI 1.7 but it works endlessly with EFI 1.6. But this is only since the new 1819 firmware was flashed to the SSD. I think Crucials SSDs are the same as SuperTalents but there might be differences I am not aware of. They both use firmware updates with the exact same numbers such as 1571, 1819 and so on.

  • Have CS4 for windows, just bought a mac, can I install cs4 on my mac with my existing serial number

    Hello,
    I just bought a mac mini and i would like to use cs4 design premium which I have already purchased for windows? Is there a way to install and activate it on my mac without repurchasing the entire suite again?

    No. The facts you are not going to like:
    - serial numbers are platform specific
    - platform switches only apply to the latest version (CS6)
    - CS4 no longer is eligible for upgrades to CS6
    - even if none of this was an issue, CS4 has limitations and issues on current versions of OSX. It's showing its age...
    In short: No way other than sign up for CC or buy CS6.

  • Can't install 3rd party screensavers

    G'day Gang,
    Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem? I've downloaded the below trial screensavers and installed them on three different machines: My Macbook Pro (specs in signature), my iBook G4 and my parents Intel Mac Mini running Tiger. They work on the iBook and Intel Mac Mini great! But not at all on the MBP...
    My MBP is running the current Leopard build and neither of the savers show up in the screensaver list in system prefs - even though they've installed correctly (and can be found in the appropriate screensaver folder in the library). I didn't try to install them prior to the 10.5.1 update so I'm not sure if that's the problem.
    Fancy giving them a try and letting me know if they work? I've emailed the respective companies and they say the savers should work under Leopard. Curious.

    I am a new comer to Macs and this is my first post
    on this subject. I have a Mac Mini and I am trying to
    install Move2Mac on this machine. I can't install
    this software on this machine. The system doesn't
    recognize the format and won't go any further.
    Move2Mac is written for a PC, not a Mac; it needs to
    be run on a PC to migrate the data.
    I am also getting "can't create this file" message
    when I am trying to update some of the Mac supplied
    software (Comic Life). thanks for the help.
    Click on the desktop and choose Get Info from the
    File menu; under Ownership & Permissions, change the
    settings so that you're the owner of that folder and
    you have Read & Write access to it.

    OK Niel, I did that and it says that I do have the read and write permissions. Any other things that I can check?

  • Can't install 3rd party software

    I've just done an archive and install of Tiger on my G4 with a NewerTech 2gig CPU.
    I was able to download and install the update to 10.4.10 without problem. However, now when I try to install anything else, I get the authenticate admin window but it just opens, then snaps closed. I don't have time to put in my password. I tried DiskWarrior and trashing the pref files for system pref and finder. I've also run Cocktail. I've run out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated.

    I had VirusBarrier X4 installed before I did the archive and install. I didn't choose save/transfer my personal setting when I did the install. So, VirusBarrier shows up in the application folder but since I can't install any 3rd party software I haven't reinstalled it. I tried to uninstall it but the uninstaller can't find that it's been installed, as I suspected it would, but took a chance.
    I don't have EyeTV. I been using Macs since 84. This is a new one on me.

  • Installing 3rd party SSD drive in xserve 1,1 (2x2GHz Xeon)

    hi apple, et al.  now that you have discontinued the xserve, will you please tell me how i can use a crucial 128GB SSD in a sonnet adapter in an ADM sled?  i have installed, the xserve will not recognize the ssd.  restart.  nothing.  not in sys profiler, not in disk util, nowhere.  the sled glows orange, then red.  upon restart the sled is green, but still no drive.  unplugging and plugging the sled, back to orangethenred light....
    come on.
    is there a jumper i need to change?  anything i can do here??  this is incredibly frustrating as the only reason this will not work is that you guys have hardcoded the acceptable drive units, right???
    i have no intention of giving up my xserve as it ... ahem, serves all my needs perfectly.  but i would like to upgrade the boot drive to ssd. 
    HOW CAN I DO THIS???????
    thank you very much for any ideas.

    I'm in the same boat. Did you ever get an SSD to work reliably as aboot volume in your 1,1 Xserve?

  • How can i install 3rd party software into my Mac with OS X Mountain Lion

    Dear Experts,
    I wish to install a software downloaded from a broadband service website (Yes, 4G broadband from Malaysia) for my 4G dongle to be able to work with OS X (10.8.1). But the system stopped me from installing it, as it said 'the installation file is not downloaded from App store and my security preference has stopped it'?!
    I have my 4G broadband with me but can not be used :-(
    **It works with my Macbook Air (OS X 10.6.8)

    Right-click it and press Open to install that application

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you are using a Mac with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, OS X Lion or Mountain Lion (as you say in your post), you have to install QuickTime Player first in order to install QuickTime Pro with your key. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3678
