I want to install an SSD on my MacBook but by reading reviews and consumer reports they seem to be spotty at best. A lot of users experiment BSOD, system lockups and corrupted drives that need drive format etc. Maybe the technology is still not ready for primetime?
Yes, most of the reports and reviews are on windows systems with no in depth report on Macs. So pretty much I want to hear if someone experience with such drives which one their got and price to better make a decision on which to get.
On my experience, mechanical HDD's, WD and Samsung tend to be more reliable than other brands like Seagate, Maxtor. But, now we have companies that historically make RAM doing such storage devices like Crucial, Corsair, Mushkin, AData etc and maybe they dont have the experience/data/mass producing tech to do them properly and can afford to have them IRL tested by us using regular warraty.
Also know about experiences modding macbook DVD drive into SSD bay? Particulary if the drive rattles inside or it feels tight and secure inside.
Thanks
