A fire under the ****!

About 2 years ago I had ever seen a SSD in my 13 "MacBook Pro (April 2011) of a relatively unknown manufacturer that time I had for 250GB 200, -... Have to pay installed and the Mac was much faster, but after 2 weeks SSD has passed away and almost my MacBook taken to the grave because he himself started by inserting no longer the old HDD. Went but then again.
That's why I thought that it is too early to decide on a SSD because there are many errors that must be corrected. That was 2 years ago. Today it's different!

Copying the data was easy! Open Disk Administrator, select partition and "restore" in the SSD. Lasted 7 hours at storage I used for about 320GB. After replacing hard drive and launched.
The first boat with the SSD was not really faster than with the old HDD. Only after a SMD and PRAM reset the Turbo came out during the boot.
I mean clearly, my Mac was anyway NEVER slow because just Macs are not slow, but as fast as he has never been. 10 seconds Password entry to the finished built-on desk is already enormous. TRIM also activated.
Then it was time for the same read / write test with the "Blackmagic Disk Speed ​​Test" app from the AppStore.
In the old HDD lousy transfer rates of more than 40Mbyte / s came. With the SSD I came to approximately 495MByte / s write and 510MByte / s read. So 10 times and you can clearly feel.

Safari loads pages more quickly.
Apps are opened immediately or with only a few seconds, etc.
Even copying files on my Synology NAS via LAN brings out the best in my network. When I'm connected via LAN cable so with 1Gbit / s, I have had with the HDD at most 50MByte / s transfer. Now, speeds of 100MByte / s the minimum.

For the non-PC users. 1GBit correspond approximately 125MByte. So the SSD uses the bandwidth from completely. The maximum value I've measured was 222MByte / s. This was an image with a size of 8GB and he has copied under a minute. Regardless Up or Down.

She is also on the size, slightly thinner than normal 2.5 "HDDs and is only lukewarm. That makes you feel even the MacBook itself and can be seen even when the CPU temperature. With the HDD he came after a while use to about 65 -70 ° C. Now he stays at 51 ° C and at 24 ° room temperature.

As for the battery life I can not say anything yet. Apparently you can, but a few% savings when the "Sudden Motion Sensor", which is responsible for ensuring that the writing arm of HDD drives into the parking position when the Mac is exposed to strong vibrations or is moved, is disabled. Will I make because an SSD has no moving.

So I can only recommend the plate. Clear 200 - are a bit much but when you consider how much time you it is so saves definitely worth to get this record!

I hope I do not do again such a bad experience like my first SSD. If you do, I will grudge here.
Until then, 5 stars from me.
