Hey, i want to get a X25-M G2 80GB SSD for my macbook pro, I was wondering, is anything needed to replace the current hard drive, or does it fit right into place without anything else needed? just asking to make sure.
There is nothing extra needed. The G2 is a standard 2.5″ size. You will just pop the old drive out and the new one in. Removing and replacing the necessary screws of course.Subscribe to my channel!
alright thanks! just wanted to make sure. i currently have a 7200RPM 250GB, but i only use like 40 gigs up (including the OS and all my files) i have an external hard drive that has time machine (1.5TB) so i could live on a 80 Gig, the performance looks sweet, the extra battery life, durability, and less heat than a HDD would rock!!
oh completely forgot, since i replaced the hard drive, would i would have to install snow leopard again right? but as long as i have the CD i just pop it in right?
You could do it that way. Or if you have an external enclosure for your old drive you could do a system migration. It’s convenient if you want to keep your files, apps etc.
Most benchmarks continue to rank this particular drive as the fastest available. This means faster boot ups, application launches etc. This drive also has better performance over time. The controller is more sophisticated and better at managing a drive using near its capacity. The stock Apple SSDs use inferior controllers.Please subscribe to my channel!
okey, how about the Crucial RealSSD C300? … And doesn’t it void the warranty to open the macbook pro? (i’m thinking of doing it, but not quite sure yet)
Damn from 500GB hard drive to 80GB SSD, nice! It is indeed worth the switch. I never even thought of opening many aps at once but I wouldn’t do it because I’m using a 250GB 5400 RPM hard drive so that’s a huge no no, lol!

It fits right into place with no additional hardware needed.

What is the advantage of this particular SSD drive, compared to the one offered by the Apple configurations ?
