Solid State vs SATA in a new macbook pro

Hello,  I'm about to purchase a new MBP.  My primary use will be for running Logic in a home recording studio. 
Since I will be recording up to 16 tracks in real time, I'm thinking I will want an external drive like the 1TB LaCie Little Big Disk.  This leaves the question of what kind of drive do I want for the internal.  Prices for a 128GB SSD have really come down, and it's only $100 extra now.  The 256GB version however is $500 extra.  If I keep only the O/S and applications on the internal drive, I can probably get by with 128GB.  I hate to limit myself like that on such a big investment. 
What are your thoughts?

Just surprised that the only response I got was to buy stock, then swap out with a 3rd party disk.
I'm replying to you on a desktop pc that I built myself.  It was inexpensive and kind of a fun project.  I went through 2 motherboards and 3 sets of RAM before I got it stable.  Newegg was great about it - can't recommend them enough.  It's been pretty solid since then, so I can't complain.  Would I do it again?  no. 
I'm buying a mac b/c everyone I have talked to in the music recording world raves about how bombproof and well thought-out they are. Nothing worse than being at a live show and having equipment failure.
If I do as you suggest and buy a SSD from say OWC (I haven't really researched this), what kind of guarantees are there that there won't be any problems with configuring the drive.  Who do you call if there are problems?  I guess I'm willing to pay a little extra for the ease of mind of having 1 phone number to call, not to mention applecare, which has been great in my exp. with other apple products.
Probably I'm over-reacting.  Have you had any problems with installing 3rd party drives on a mac?

    What is largest solid state drive I can install in MacBook Pro 8,2?  I want to perform a clean install of Mavricks and dump my old hard drive.

    If the bank account permits, I suggest getting a 1 TB SSD anyway.  One cannot have too much storage. 
    Unless you are having issues with your current installation, a 'clean' install is not necessary.  It would be more efficient to clone your current drive to the new SSD, test it, and then do the swap.  The installation of Mavericks over Snow Leopard can be done either before or after the cloning process.

  • Can I put a solid state hard drive in my older MacBook Pro?

    Can this Macbook pro 2.2GHz MacBook Pro (MC723LL/A) be upgraded to a solid state hard drive?

    Yes. Visit OWC for suitable SSDs from their 3G collection. Also, you may look into their DataDoubler that lets you remove the optical drive and install the HDD in that space. They also will have some installation tutorials.

    i am buying a new macbook pro but i want to fit my own ram memory and solid state hard drive , will apple permit this without voiding the waranty.

    yes you can do it and not void the warranty.  Those are the only hardware changes that Apple permits.  Instructions on how to upgrade the ram and remove and replace the hard drive are even included in the owners manuals for MacBook Pros.

    I jus bought a brand new macbook pro 13" entry level
    If I Replace my SuperDrive with a Hard Drive or Solid State Drive. Will it void my warranty?
    Or is it possible to change it as I`ve said and put the extra hdd in the optical drive if its done somewere like bestbuy?

  • New Macbook Pros: SSD's upgraded to SATA rev3.0?

    I have searched  tech specs all over Apple's site; I cannot find a thing about the SSD's of the new MacBook Pros. In some of the 2011 releases,  SATA 3.0 connections started appearing—even though their drives were not 6Gbit/s per se. Does anyone know if they've progressed to faster SSD's? 

    Since this post I've checked the retina display notebooks at my local Apple store, and discovered that they are equipped with 6 Gb/s solid states. Also, all of the new MacBook Air SSDs are 6 Gb/s link-speed.

    Many thanks lllaass,
    The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.

    Goods delivered to you for personal or business use (not for resale) in Pennsylvania are subject to Pennsylvania state sales tax.
    If you are exempt from Pennsylvania state sales tax, or are a Not-for-profit corporation and have a DBA certificate in Pennsylvania, you may be able to buy tax-free. I doubt this.
    If you have the goods delivered to your address in Oregon, and there is no state sales tax in Oregon, you would not have to pay state sales tax.
    Since Apple does business in all 50 states, they are also obligated to charge you sales tax (for the state where the goods are delivered) when you buy from the Apple Online store.

  • Questions about buying a new MacBook pro with SSD

    Hello, I am about to buy a new MacBook pro. I'm going to get the 13 inch 2.8 dual core i7. I want a solid state drive also. I was going back and forth between the 128 gig or the 256 but I will probably get the 256. My computer will ship with lion but i am so confused about the TRIM support. Does lion take care of this? Dop I have to do anything like run a command or program to take care of TRIM?  Also, are solid states reliable? Should I get apple care? ( i really don't want to. Lol)

    I suggest you buy the notebook with the standard drive and the standard RAM, if you were thinking about upgrading the RAM.
    You can replace the original drive with a SSD at a lower cost then what Apple charges You can also buy RAM for a MUCH lower price.
    TRIM:
    Lion only supports TRIM natively when used with a Apple SSD. BUT, REALLY BUT, You can enable TRIM support yourself on the SSD you install. I have a SSD in my MBP that I installed and I have enabled TRIM support on it.
    Are SSDs reliable? As far as I can tell Yes they are. I have one in my Win 7 desktop PC for the last 9 months, No Problems. I have a SSD installed in my Dell Win 7 Notebook for the last 1.5 months, No Problems. I have a SSD installed in my MBP for the last month+, No problems. There are reports of SSDs failing but there are also report of standard hard drive failing all the time.
    I used Intel 320 series SSDs in my 2 Windows PCs and a Kingston V200 SSD in my MBP. I switched to the Kingston because of the price and it runs on the higher SATA III bus speed, 6GB, where as the Intel 320 series only run at the 3GB speed, SATA II.

  • How do I compare the speed of my new MacBook Pro to my old one?

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro (2.6 Ghz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3) and gave my old one to my daughter. I used Time Machine to basically produce an exact copy of the old machine; however, in the six weeks I've been using it, I don't seem to see any improvements in speed eg programmes which took several seconds to open still take several seconds to open (I know - learn to be a bit more patient!).
    Is there a simple way of comparing two machines? Are there any ways the general public can "benchmark" different computers to allow a direct comparison?

    You might have gotten a newer machine, which is surely faster performing on the hardware side if you run GeekBench, XBench and other tests for CPU, Graphics and UI responses. 
    However some hardware speeds haven't changed too much, like hard drives which Apple places pokey 5,400 RPM drives in their laptop because it's more stable and takes less power.
    Apple likes to add features to OS X to sell more hardware, this "bloat" tends to eat away at the hardware performance you do get when you buy a new machine.
    Apple very well can make the UI feel more snappy, however they put speed limits in as they want people to be able to recognize something is happening.
    Another factor is you restored from TimeMachine, which doesn't really optimize the hard drive when it restores back.
    Another factor is a lot of hard drives come from the factor with bad sectors, which takes time for the drive to discover and map off, this affects read performance.
    Another factor is perhaps you bought a 13" MBP, with no dedicated graphics card, so it's running on the Intel CPU 4000 graphics which is greatly inferior to the higher end 15" dedicated graphics.
    Another factor is when you restored from TimeMachine your personal data pushed past the 50% mark on your boot hard drive, these sectors and tracks on the hard drive are shorter and further inwards thus it takes longer for the read heads to get data from them.
    I don't have to recommned any program for you to test your new hardware against the old one, I know your new machine is probablly faster.
    What I suspect has occured is your machine either doesn't have a dedicated video card (a 13", cant' help about that)
    or that your running 10.7 (you CAN upgrade to 10.8 which reports are it's a bit snappier)
    Does your Mac qualify for free 10.8 upgrade?
    I suspect you dont't have a SSD or else you wouldn't be complaining, so that leaves a boot hard drive over 50% filled and/or a deoptimized TimeMachine restore.
    What you can do is get a blank, powered external drive and a copy of Carbon Copy Cloner
    1: Reduce the content of your boot drive user data so Acitivty Monitor > Disk Usage is below 50% (never more than 80% filled) reboot to see the changes.
    2: Use CCC to clone the Macintosh HD partition to the external drive, hold the option key down while booting and boot off the clone drive.
    3: Use Disk Utility (on the clone) to select your Macintosh HD partiton on the internal drive, use the Erase > Secure Erase middle selection and wait, this will "zero" the drive and ehen it checks, will map off any bad or failing sectors.
    4: When that's completed (takes a few hours) then use CCC to clone the clone back onto the Macintosh HD partition.
    5: Reboot and Disk Utility > Repair permissions on both drives, use OnyX from MacUpdate.com to run all the maintainence and cleaning aspects and reboot.
    For the OnyX routine, see #12 here: Step by Step to fix your Mac
    What you should wind up with is a as snappy machine as possible, your Applications will be written to the "hot band" which is the fastest portion of the hard drive, hopefully any bad sectors which take longer to read from will be eliminated.
    If you want to make hardware changes, I recommned getting a Solid State Drive for faster speed, however they can't be securely erased and Filevault has been cracked so that's no protection.

    FYI I have a pokey 5,400 RPM drive, butI used the optimization techniques above and it's dam well snappy. I also run 10.6.8 on a Early 2011, which is the last machines that can run 10.6., so because the OS is less bloated I get more UI response.
    Other factos I have, I have a 25 Mb/p download Internet speed and a 5Ghz WPA2(AES) ruoter with no leachers or other users. I use Firefox with the broadband tweaks which is even faster than Safari which is the fasest browser on Macs. My web pages lad in about 1-2 seconds onaverage.

  • Using a Pac File with the new Macbook Pros

    I have recently purchased a new Macbook pro and to access the internet at my college, I need to use a Pac File, and My class mate has the drop down option to select it due to their macbook pro is an older model and my new macbook doesn't, how do I get the "Using Pac File" option?
    Thanks people in advance for your help!

    OS X Lion is not being included as an install DVD with new Macs. (It does come pre-installed.) Apple is offering a $69 USB stick with Lion pre-installed for owners would like to own a solid state means of recovery. Lion is strictly internet based with its recovery features - in other words - Macs will need to be able to connect to the internet to restore a computer with HDD failure (or some other issue where you need to restore the system.)

  • The new MacBook Pro 15" -- video adapters fry computer?

    So, I haven't been able to find anything on this online yet, and I could well be wrong, so proceed with care and let me know if this is debunked, and I'll edit appropriately.
    I was at J&R World (New York) earlier today, to buy a VGA adapter for my brand new MacBook Pro 15". Not knowing which kind I needed, I asked the guy, but when he went to get one for me, they were missing that adapter, and only that one. He checked the computer, and it said they were in stock, but before it could be resolved, the store closed.
    So I go to the Apple Store in Soho, and having already forgotten which "mini-" or "micro-" thingie I needed, I ask again. And thank goodness. The guy asks me which computer I have, and I tell him the Macbook Pro. The new one? Brand new. Hmm, he says, let me check, they're changing those adapters. I'm a bit puzzled about what that means, especially since I can see all the types sitting on the shelf right there. He comes back. What size do you have again? 15 inch. ****, he says, the other sizes are okay, but there's a problem with the newly updated 15" Macbook Pros. A problem? I say. But it's brand new! Yeah, he says, something is wrong, I don't know what technically, they're fixing it in the adapters. So, I ask, doesn't that mean there's something wrong with the computer, then? Anyway, he hems and haws, and says something about the old adapters frying the computer, that it only affects the brand new 15" models, and that it seems to be related to the sound card. I asked him when the new adapters would be in, but he didn't know. Only after I left did I think about the fact that they appear to still be selling the old ones to anyone who knows enough not to ask.
    This obviously requires corroboration, but it seems like a pretty serious problem to me if there are a lot of the old adapters out there already. I don't want to live in fear that, even if I get a new one, I need to have it with me always (often projectors in our department have adapters in the bag with them), and that if I mix it up with someone else's, it may fry my computer! Also, surely it must mean there's something wrong with my new Macbook Pro -- and after the (literally) 12 things that went wrong with my old Macbook, I'm pretty wary.
    Anyone else heard this? Any Apple Store workers who can corroborate? If it's false, I'll happily erase this, but the odd behavior at J&R and the confidence of the Apple Store clerk make it seem pretty solid -- I'm just surprised I can't find any info online.

    Given that the folx at the retail store usually know "less" about emerging issues than here in the discussions, just the fact that they have any information at all would make me wary about picking up an adapter, warranty or not. For example, after being told that, if you had asked about the SATA issue, you'd have likely gotten a blank stare or a "Whuh?" So, there's some information that they THINK is reliable (that they may have misinterpreted, of course) that says there's a chance to fry the new 15 inch MBP. It may be an outside case, it may only be related to hooking up to some older specific model of monitor, etc., but it's out there.
    I'd play it cautious and check the store again in a day or so to see if they have the same story. Better to make sure and not have any questions raised on your warranty return than to have your computer blow up on you in the middle of something you worked hard to create. Sure, you get a new computer, but, at the moment it's fried, you likely lose what you're working on.

  • HDD vs SSD for new MacBook Pro and FCP editing performance

    I will be purchasing a new MacBook Pro and I'm curious about performance as it relates to large FCP projects. I'm looking to hear from folks who can help me determine if a solid state drive (SSD) would be worth the extra cost. I edit large FCP projects and I'm curious if using a SSD would be the way to go. Will I get better editing performance with a SSD as opposed to the 7200 RPM HDD?
    Thanks!

    As a boot drive, SSDs have exceedingly last fast access times, and great data throughput rates. My Crucial SSD has a write read of about 200 MB/s. I can boot in under four seconds, and access apps, and web sites pretty **** fast.
    However, beyond this, I don't see any real, substantial or dramatic gains in editing performance at all as a boot drive. I'd save your money on get more RAM, and best CPU and GPU you can afford.

  • Why is it that the new macbook pro processor upgrade option only offers up to 2.8 Ghz with Intel Dual Core i7, when back in Sep 12 I bought a 2.9 Ghz Intel Dual Core i7 Macbook, is the new one tuned to go much faster anyway?

    Why is it that the new Macbook Pro processor upgrade option only offers up to 2.8 Ghz boosting to 3.3 Ghz with Intel Dual Core i7, when back in Sep 12 I bought a 2.9 Ghz boosting to 3.6 Ghz Intel Dual Core i7 Macbook, is the new one tuned somehow to go much faster anyway, or will the new one be slower in fact?  Or does the solid state drive compensate for the lack of increased processor capacity?

    The CPU's come from different Intel 'families'.  The older ones are 'Ivy Bridge' and the newer ones are 'Haswell'.  Numbers alone will not determine the efficiency of  CPU.
