[QUOTE="Jez, post: 1149998, member: 44947"] So a need some experts in in regard to SSD's... I have a Late 08 Macbook Pro with the following spec.. First i tried a Vertex 2, started off ok then just didn't work would not start up lots of spinning balls, so... Well looks like SSD's dont like this model Macbook Pro! Brand new Mercury Extreme Pro SSD formatted installed, sometimes starts up super fast, runs super fast. Do i need to partion when formatting or just erase..? I've tried both, perhaps i'm doing that bit wrong or clutching at straws. Sometimes doesn't start up, if it does start up lots of spinning beach ball. Its certainly works better than the Vertex 2 but i think i'm jinxed, as my normal HD once back in works fine as it always has. Now decide to sell on eBay as i think its perfectly fine as a drive just not on my rig. Or keep ready for the new range of Macbook Pros out next year... Disappointed, when it runs its awesome as well. Someone on the Apple forums suggested turning off the motion sensor, did that and re-installed everything. Worked beautifully for a couple of days doing my normal stuff, some work emails, internet... Now this morning back to the problems again :( Anything else i could try. Back to my old HD which works fine and my computer works fine with... [/QUOTE]
