[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 1150850, member: 97843"] It is known that OCZ does seem to be very "delicate" when running on Mac due to TRIM not working on it, which can build up corrupted files. It also appears to be a larger problem with users who shuffle files around, along with adding/deleting them. I have the same mbp 5.1 only with the 2.4 ghz processor, running an OCZ agility 32gb and 500gb momentus xt. I have VERY little file movement, since I only have the OS and only a couple of the most important apps on the ssd, and everything else that I download goes the the regular hd. The ssd is in the optical bay, the regular hd is in the regular hd bay. Since you mentioned that you tried the mercury pro, and still have the same problem, knowing that OWC's ssd drive has its own file system, means that in my opinion, it might be a problem related to the way you installed the OS. The way I would do it is this: -Make a backup(if possible) -slide the OSX **** in, and restart in via the disk. -Follow the first couple of start-up commands... -When the first menu bar comes up, go to options and select the disk utility -Then select the ssd, and select to create 1 partition, along with whatever you want to name it. -Then exit out and follow the installation. -DO NOT backup from timemachine/whatever backup/migration assistant. Do a clean install. Try this to see if there are some files that are causing your problems. Since ssd's access files differently than a regular hard drive, you might copy the hd only to have files messed up once they get situated on the ssd. Good luck! I wish I had that OWC drive! [/QUOTE]
