[QUOTE="robhilken, post: 1764549, member: 394416"] Hi, I have a late 2007 Macbook Pro, the first intel model. I replaced the HDD with a new Kingston SSD - Kingston SSDNow UV400 120GB 2.5inch SATA III SSD The install process took 3 days and even though it boots eventually now it is impossible to use as it is so slow. There is obviously something wrong. I have the old hard drive in a caddy in the superdrive bay and I can still boot to that, and I ran a Disk Utility check and found no errors. Could the SSD drive be incompatible? Is there a better drive to buy that will work? Any suggestions or pointers gratefully received! Best, Rob [/QUOTE]
