Constant source of joy on PC and Mac

Since in my office laptop from mid-2011 puts a 810er of Samsung, I'm trying to use SSD's for private laptops. The price per GB is enormous compared to the mechanical, but the difference in speed up also. From the reliability ago I tend to let the SSD the lead, as they said on the train Gerüttle the absence of moving parts oppose and do not know the infamous head crash for example.

Said Samsung 810 contradicts years all failure predictions, here the workload is limited enormously by 3D visualization, CAD and GIS, but obviously was "time" the write load balancing so well resolved that this "plate" no deficits shows.

Now for the actual purchase of the 840 EVO Basic 512GB.
Order processing, shipping etc. Amazon and typically within a few days with me in Austria. The "board" cost way, with twice as much memory to 80, - less than 830 of 04/2012.

As usual under Windows I copy the contents of an existing system disk with the free Acronis WD Edition to the hanging on a USB-SATA adapter SSD. This takes a few hours, where I can do what else, but relieve me compared to a new installation of many other problems. Apparently, the software has also been improved, as the so-called. Alignment, with its not inconsiderable speed participation, immediately agreed. Can also be good, that I was just lucky, at my 830, also treated with Acronis, it was not true then, right away.
Acronis even allows changing the partition sizes (and sequence, but that one should rather leave).

After completion of the old hard drive comes out Kopiererei and the SSD inside. Finished! The computer starts as expected .... very fast. Even with browsers like Firefox, are created with many open tabs, for the ongoing temporary files, you realize the speed advantage significantly.

For Samsung 840 EVO Basic 256GB:
This Christmas I bought in 2013 for my daughter. Your Mac Pro (version end of 2011) was already waiting very tough, Photoshop opened yawning slowly, surfing was a pain. Times, they say, that's just under Windows so niieemals the Mac! And yet. Partly due to that was the ca.18000 files in Trashbin, apparently looking the Mac OS is often this location, and if there is much in it, already holds alone doing a lookup on. Anyway took the final deletion of files there nearly half an hour. After that it was a little better with the speed, but still quite lame. Therefore the SSD.
I used to transfer the Carbon Copy Cloner in the last free version. As a non-Mac users, it took a while before I could get the program on track, as the original plate was greater than the SSD and it indeed is a small recovery partition. Besides, if I remember correctly, the SSD previously had to be formatted. The message that for an older OS than the current of the CCC is, and this can lead to mistakes, I've ignored with a bit of a stomach ache, but without bad injury.
Despite the uncertainties of the transfer was successful, I still have 4G additionally installed RAM. Since then, the computer is running optimally.
