[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1105574, member: 24098"] 1. Usually 3-4 times faster on reads. Write speeds can be faster, but sometimes are comparable to normal HDDs. 2. SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. 3. All of your updates are handled automatically via the Apple Software Update mechanism. Occasionally there are firmware updates to SSDs, but these should be few and far between. Often, they'll need to be done in Windows. 4. Research heavily. There are huge disparities in performance and reliability. No one drive is kind of the hill. You might also consider waiting because OS X does not currently support TRIM. So, over time, the drive will slow down until you reformat it. [/QUOTE]
