MBP - dual SSDs?

So for a couple of years now i've been thinking of removing my optical drive & replacing it with a boot SSD drive & keeping the traditional physical drive as my "files" drive...but today i thought why not have both as SSD drives?
Has anyone done this successfully without too much difficulty? (i would have to pay someone to do it as im not confident enough to do it myself)
My main reason for wanting to do this is for mobile audio recording - the boot drive hosts the apps & & software sounds, & the second drive runs the audio files & loops.
Thoughts?

Nevermind - came across some info that says a SSD wont work in the optical drive...

  • MBP 2011 Dual SSD

    Hi guys,
    I've just got a quick question, I'm thinking in the near future of upgrading my early 2011 15" MacBook Pro with dual SSDs. I'll definitely be getting a Samsung 512GB 840 Pro to replace my HDD but I was also thinking of getting a 960GB Crucial M500 to put in my optical drive bay. Has anyone had any experience with the Crucial SSD? And do you think this set-up is a good idea?
    Cheers!

    Your MBP may fall into this category:

  • Dual SSD

    Thinking of puting dual SSD drives in my MacBook Pro (by removing the optical drive).  I'm thinking there are two configuration options...
    I could STRIPE it for a super fast single volume, OR, I could put the OS on one drive, and the swap file and virtual machine (Boot Camp?) on the other drive.
    Oh also thinking of a single SSD with a 1Tb drive in the optical bay.
    Thoughts?

    Is there any reason you're not just going to get a 120GB SSD in the first place? [OWC has a 120GB SSD for under $300|http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/internalstorage/Mercury_Extreme_SSD_Sandforce/Solid_StatePro]. So unless you already bought the drives....
    As to your actual question of whether OSX can boot from software RAID, I do not know specifically. I believe that it can, (correct me if I'm wrong) but I have never tried.
    However, I would be quite concerned about booting from a RAID0 or simple spanned volume. You lose one disk, you lose all data. You'd want to be very certain about your backups. Yes, SSDs are more durable than platters, but Murphy doesn't care about such things. If it were me, I would NOT RAID the drive, but just use one for booting OSX, and the other for data. (But I'm probably more paranoid than most people. )
    Me personally, I updated my 2008 MBP with a [Seagate 500GB hybrid drive|http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148591]. I needed the capacity for virtual machines but SSDs over 200GB are not at a good price point yet. So the hybrid is what I settled on. I'm finding that the platters don't spin up that much, which implies that the MBP is reading a lot from the 4GB cache on the drive, just like it would if it were a true SSD. So it's almost like having a SSD for most things until I fire up a virtual machine. YMMV, of course.

  • Performance Effects of Win7 Install on MBP Dual i7?

    I do processor, hard-drive, and RAM intensive audio production with Logic Pro 9. Is installing Win7 with Boot Camp on my Mid-2010 MBP Dual i7/4GB going to introduce any performance changes? (I've already done it and I feel like performance is lacking on the Mac side...)

    Then it would be what happens with your hybred.
    Yes, HFS and NTFS handle things differently. That is or should not be an issue.
    Apple firmware or Seagate's that is customized to use an SSD+mechanical drive.
    Adding Windows, adding the Master Boot Record as more than a place-holder.
    They are just partitions. And whether you use Base2 500GB = 465GB or Apple math of abandoning 1024 for 1000 doesn't matter.
    Windows 7 64-bit needs 40-60GB though, higher number to operate properly and have room for cache, for SP1+ updates and for some data and applications, though the core of Windows 7 is still around 20GB, there are page, hibernation, restore points and others that are needed.

  • MBP with SSD or HDD

    Hi,
    Which MBP sells more or is more preferred by the people - MBP with SSD Or HDD Memory.
    Thanks.

    Apple charges far too much for their models with flash storage or SSDs. While I see a SSD as a necessity, I wouldn't buy one from Apple.
    For more on MacBook Pros and SSDs, see my one and only user tip - Upgrading your MacBook Pro with a Solid State Drive. Note that it's only meant for non-Retina display models.
    Good luck,

  • Dual-boot on MBP Retina SSD

    Hi!
    I've just started university and have been wondering whether to get a Mac or PC (I already own a desktop Windows PC). After much thought, I've decided to go the Mac "ultrabook" way, namely the MBP 13'' Retina (I might still choose the MB Air...).
    I know that there are many alternatives to OneNote 2013 (whether special Mac ones or multiplatform like Evernote) but none has been as compelling as OneNote (especially because I have my desktop PC which I would also like to use to edit notes).
    So I see two solutions :
    1) Use the OneNote web app during lectures
    2) Set up a OS X/Windows 8(.1) dual-boot
    My question is, regarding option 2 : does a dual-boot "hurt" the SSD in some way like reducing it's lifespan? Furthermore, is it worth the effort? Does it work well?
    Thanks in advance!
    Jonas

    Don't forget that you don't have to choose to "dual boot" only.  You have the option of runnign Windows in a virtual  machine environment like Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion, or Virtual Box.  Each of those allows you to create a virtual PC within your Mac, then boot that virtual PC just as if it were a real PC.  At that point, you are then running Windows and can install and run your Windows software on that virtual machine.  I have gone this route with my latest MacBook Pro, which is a Late 2011 model, and it is older and slower than the MacBook Pro with Retina that you are looking to buy...

  • 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?

    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,

  • New MBP and SSD problems?

    Ok, so I installed an Intel SSD in my new MBP( I am eventually getting the MCE OptiBay to put my regular HDD back in. Here's the thing...Every time I run Boot Camp Assistant, and click to install Windows...it restarts...grey screen, then...flashing folder with question mark. Any ideas?? I've reinstalled OSX on this drive twice now. There seems to be nothing wrong with the drive because OSX installed and runs fine on it. What's going on? Do the new MBP's need a new Boot Camp update, or something?

    Intel 2G SSD? Did you remove the 'mechanical' drive for now?
    There were problems in the past with Intel and with 3rd party SSDs.
    What I would like you to try doing is use the mechanical drive for now for OS X if possible, and disconnect it, and with just the SSD in there (pretty hard I guess???) forget using BCA, and boot Windows 7 DVD and have at it.
    Firmware on Mac's, firmware on Intel SSD...
    I assume holding Option/Alt on startup doesn't work either.
    10.6.6 did a couple things, still no idea why:
    Wants to download drivers to CD (broken);
    Takes longer to boot back to OS X (no idea);
    OS X reports to be running slower than before.
    OS X still lacks TRIM for SSD and OS X suffers (still faster but not what it should be).
    Oh, what version of Windows? you may need Windows 7, and if you bought it from school or electronic download, did you have to burn ISO to disc? That can act or behave in odd ways like this.

  • Trying to install Windows via Bootcamp (dual SSD, optibay)

    I have an MBP 17" late 2011. I am running Lion 10.7.4. and I recently bought two Samsung 830 Series SSD drives to put into the MBP. I want to put one in the The second one I want to go into the optibay, so I bought a drive caddy. I am not able to install Bootcamp because I don't have an optical drive. I've tried a few software mods, such as adding 'mbasd=1' and here (www.codez4mac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?uid=225402&f=212&t=61921&start=0) to create a windows 7 USB  install disk on Lion, and here (sudo pico /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist) to try and get the external superdrive to work and others I've seen on various communities, but nothing seems to work. I can't use the Parallels route because my version of Windows is an Upgrade version.
    A few things you should know: (1) I was able to get the superdrive working on my MBP using the software mod above, and I was excited to finally get Wondows installed on the second SSD. However, when Bootcamp goes to install it, it hangs at a black screen with "_" blinking infinitely. I feel like I'm close to finding a solution, but so far no luck. I'm close to just packing up the SSDs and returning them, even though I really like the performance I see.
    I am not a beginner, but I am not an advanced programmer, so if you have ideas or fixes, please send them my way.
    Here is the set up I want to accomplish:
    1) Set up Bootcamp partition on second SSD. Drive #1 will be Lion, drive #2 will be a file store with Bootcamp partition also.
    2) If using Bootcamp I can use my upgrade version of Windows. I can do this the traditional way of installing the older version, then the upgrade of Wondows, or simply install the upgrade version clean, then immediately reinstall it as an upgrade and the activation is clean. Before I get any grief on that, there are two things: (a) I've installed Windows several times on other machines this way and it is best because it is a clean install and (b) this was recommended to me by a MS technician when I had to call in a while back.
    3) If/Once Windows is installed on MBP's second SSD (optibay), I will be using an external USB superdrive or a USB DVD/CD drive I own.
    In trying to work all of this out over the past several days, there are a few observations I have:
    A) I am baffled that the USB Superdrive won't work on anything except Mini and Air (even though I got it to work). I don't want to hear the "reasons" Apple does this, becuase I should be able to boot from ANY USB drive, like any other computer. What happens if/when my MBP's superdrive gives it up and no longer works? Drop another $2500+ on another computer?
    Sorry for the rant.
    Frustrated.

    Middle of night but fwiw as long as you don't have two drives both using GUID you can do this. But you can't during install have OS X on A and Windows on B. Get Windows installed you will have to wipe out the one with Lion or disconnect it or something. Then reconnect or restore w/ Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Format the one with Lion to MBR
    BCA is not needed when you are not splitting a drive between both Windows DVD can be used to format the entire SSD.
    Are you familiar with Carbon Copy cloner?

  • How to properly install updates with kernel changes on MBP w/ SSD

    I downloaded and installed Yosemite security update 2015 003, and on reboot it would have a progress bar of the updating which would not complete and would show the prohibited sign (circle with a line through it).
    I tried the following:
    I held the power button to shut it down and perform a hard restart, the problem would not go away.
    Tried clearing the PRAM, but since it was in the middle of the update reboot, it was busy and would not properly clear the PRAM. No chimes.
    I tried holding option to select the boot drive manually, but that did not work either.  I could not even get to the boot drive selection screen. Just the continued seeing prohibited sign.
    I was able to plug in my external hard drive and boot from that after multiple tries to use Disk Utility to restore my backup partition onto the internal SSD. Luckily, I frequently backup, so I didn't lose any data by being forced to wipe my SSD and restore my backup.
    This is on a 13" MBP 7,1 (Mid 2010) with an aftermarket Intel SSD and 8GB of aftermarket RAM. Had TRIM enabler installed and on when downloading and installing the update. Is that the cause? After researching this and coming up with no solution, I discovered this security update seems to change the kernel. Is this kernel change conflicting with TRIM enabler? What causes this hanging problem when attempting to update? I have done multiple "Computer must restart to install changes" updates on this SSD in the past without this problem happening.

    I don't know enough to explain it. I've read that you need to disable TRIM before upgrading to Yosemite. And disable it before doing updates. Updating may not always cause problems, but you never know till it happens. Enabling TRIM disables Apple's security measures built in and this may be why a Security Update affected it.
    Here is one article on TRIM with Yosemite:

  • Dual SSD/Platter Set up

    My initial goal with this project is to increase the performance of AE by lower render and editing time. My first thought with this project was to replace the standard HDD in my MacBook Pro with a faster drive. Faster drive=faster project completion.
    Upon further investigation running through the forums a lot of people are running multipule drive machines a spectating there read and write drives to spectate ones to maximize the performance. I know some of the people who have thunderbolt ports are doing raid0 to accomplish this sadly I do not have thunder bolt.
    What I would like to do is pull out the super drive and replace with a second HDD to accomplish this same type of idea. The HDD drive in the optical bay would be a traditional 7200rpm drive in the range from 750gb to 1TB to store the majority of the large files I have. The main drive I would change to a smaller SSD drive for my OS and apps.
    All that being said I want the best return on my investment.
    Would I see significant improvement in my work flow? Or is it just a waste of time/money?
    If  I did do that how would I set the settings in AE to take advantage of the dual drive correctly?
    Here are the specs of my MacBook
    2.8ghz core 2 duo
    8GB ram (max)
    500gb 5400rpm drive
    OS Snow Leopard
    Thanks for the help in advance

    Unless you make excessive use of footage sources that require such massive file I/O, the advantage will be zero. Likewise, any advantages with using an SSD or RAID for disk cache will only show up, if the project is so complex, that using cached data will be faster than calculating stuff dynamically. AE has always worked this way and it still does, even if CS6 takes a much more aggressive approach to some of those things. It all comes down to what you do in your projects and it's the same like when to use MP rendering and when not or al lthose endless threads on the best computer for AE. There are no simple answers here. In the end, you could indeed spend a lot of money for nothing.

  • Question re MBP (dual GPUs) running Second Life

    I have a question about running Second Life on a late-08 MBP 2.53 Ghz with the dual GPUs.
    When I open SL (using the lower-end 9400 GPU) I get an error message saying there is an unknown graphics card and that SL will revert to its lower default settings.
    When toggle the high-performance 9600 GPU and then logout/login, the error message goes away.
    SL seems to run about the same in either case, which is about mid-range. It's OK but not terrific.
    I am wondering if maybe SL does not recognize either GPU, even though the higher performance toggle does not trigger an error message.
    Am I thinking right that while the mac is be using the high-end graphics card (or the low-end), but because SL does not recognize it, the SL client just uses default graphic settings and I am not getting the benefit of the nifty MBP double-GPU?
    P.S. I have asked this question around the SL boards and to Linden Lab itself, but cannot seem to get a straightforward answer. So I just thought someone here might be having the same experience and may have some ideas about it. Thanks!

    I did quite a bit of research the past couple days and would like to answer my own question, in case anybody else is wondering about this. It turns out that the error message only means that Second Life has not fully tested the new Mac Book Pro graphics cards (NVIDIA 9400M and 9600M GT). I received this info direct from Linden Labs after submitting a support ticket, and this was confirmed by the techs at the Apple store. Because these cards are not yet on the list of tested cards in SL System Requirements, the program opens with lower settings, but you can easily adjust them upwards once you log into SL. Btw, SL seems to run pretty well for me on the 2.58 Ghz late-08 MBP. Generally 30 fps in uncrowded areas with High or Ultra graphics, down to 10 fps with mid-range graphics settings in areas jammed with avatars, and even lower sometimes if you're dancing and there's lots of other avatars dancing too. You can get more details in my blog entry about this.

  • MBR vs MBP w/ SSD

    Hey guys,
    A new computer has been looming in my horizon for a few months, and the time is very close. I'm deciding between a 15" MBR w/ 256GB storage or a 15" MBP. If I put a SSD in the MBP (let's say a Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB), is there really any difference in the speed comparison test? The MBR is so nice but the inability to upgrade is a pretty big turnoff for me.
    Any input is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    It's up to you, but I suggest you to choose the MacBook Pro with a SSD. First of all, you may get a better performance of the SSD with the MacBook Pro without Retina display depending on the SSD you install, and also, it's much more customizable: on the MacBook Pro without Retina display, you can add more RAM and a hard drive without voiding warranty. Finally, repairs are less expensive because there are less parts soldered.
    The SSD you want to install, a Samsung 840 Pro, sometimes gives problems and users complain about failures. I recommend you to go for another SSD

  • Will using FileVault 2 on the new MBP Retina SSD reduce performance?

    I read in an ArsTechnica article (http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/06/inside-the-ssd-revolution- mobile-devices-and-modern-oss/3/) that the performance impact of using Full Disk Encryption on an SSD with a SandForce controller is potentially sizeable, due to the inability of the controller to identify wether data was eligible for deduplication. This is because when the SandForce controller analyzes data for homogeneity, similar files that would otherwise be deduped would be treated like unique data (the encryption makes them all unique). I know they mentioned that the delta was minor, but I'm interested in how minor it is, and they used the MBA for performance benchmarks.
    So my fundamental question is this: Would I receive reduced performance on my SSD in storage capacity, longevity, or write speeds because of using FileVault 2, and if so, is there any inherent encryption built into the SandForce controller that would protect my data without the need for FileVault 2? This is a deciding factor that will determine if my MBP can be used for work or not.
    *As a sidenote, please don't say that FDE isn't necessary or that I should go without encryption to solve this problem. I handle sensitive patient data that requires all of my work devices to be encrypted.*

    I've been using FV2 on a 240GB OWC 6G for aboutr 6 momths. The disk is about 50% full. The performance is pretty bad as you can see - 105/177 MBs and I've contacted OWC to see if they have a view. But I'm about to turn FV off and see if the performance improves.

  • Slow Boot MBP 2012 SSD on 10.8.3 - Tried several fixes

    Hi,
    I have a MBP 2012, I upgrade it with Samsung SSD 830 256GB and 16GB RAM.
    Boot: 50 seconds
    Shut down: 20-30 seconds (uncheck documents on iCloud preferences and seems to shut down on 3 to 5 seconds)
    Since the begining I figure how to make it work properly.
    I made a backup with SuperDuper! and later, after some time when I want to repair permissions I realize I have lost my Recovery HD, after some Google magic I reinstall ML and solve the problem.
    Start up time was too slow, then I do some search and anfer SMC + PRAM (NVRAM) reset everything seems to work fine, for some time.
    Every time slow boots and shut downs come back, I do more searchs and find some fixes, but those fixes dont work the sameway for everybody, even on same machines and dont last forever.
    Uninstall Little Snitch, Clean Caches, Fonts, Uninstall Parallels, Do some vudu with Cocktail and Onyx, Reinstall Mountain Lion, Update my System to the last 10.8.3 with the Combo Update, Selected my boot drive on system preferences (I just have one disc on my mac, no Fusion Drive so I dont understand why I have ti try this but did it).
    I repeat some of the fixes, but always the same result, Boot time always on 50 seconds.

    There is a  30 some seconds delay after this failed, on every boot I do.
    Any clues to help me? I reported slow boots and shut downs on ML, hoping to see it solved some time on the near future, maybe on 10.8.4
    This is the only thing "wrong" with my MBP, after boot is fast and love to work with it.
    Thanks.
    Sorry if I don't search enough, but try everything I found and can't solve it.

    Waiting for an answer I decided to start from RecoveryHD, delete my Macintosh HD and Reinstall Mountain Lion.
    I have my data safe, I just have to copy my Documents and stuff and reinstall a bunch of apps if everything goes fine.
    I would like to solve this other than have to do a Clean Reinstall.
    Last night try to do a clean reinstall, but nothing change, still at 50 seconds boot.
    Start to thinking if its something related to my disk. Seems to be the in the last firmware available for the SSD 830. TRIM is not enabled at this moment on my mac, and write & read speeds are fine.
    After last boot found this:
    26/04/13 13:28:09,338 root[109]: /usr/libexec/ntpd-wrapper: scutil key State:/Network/Global/DNS not present after 30 seconds
    Google a little an then found this:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4070843?start=0&tstart=0 and decided to try a Hardware Test. The first Test ant fine in less than 5 minutes, now trying a complete test: After 75 minutes everything is fine. Hardware test OK.
    I will continue updating this if I can fix it.
