I recently ordered a Samsung 830 SSD and 8GB of RAM for my late 2011 MBP. Since the computer didn't come with a SSD, its not optimized to have one. I couldn't seem to find a good guide on here, and websites I found on google seemed contradictory and some gave outdated advice.
The first issue was trim. Should I enable it or not? I don't think that Trim Enabler has been optimized for Lion yet, which is another problem. Some websites said to definitely do this well others said the deterioration of the SSD would be negligible.
I'm not really sure what other things I should and should not do. I want the computer to run as fast as possible. Do you partion the SSD before you put it into the labtop? Will using Carbon Copy to copy the contents of my HDD onto my SSD slow down the SSD?
If someone who has done this before could chime in with some answers and some other things that I need to do, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you so much.
