Biggest disappointment with SSD X25 160 Gb G2

Try resetting your PRAM again.

Here are instructions from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379

Do you have the latest firmware version for the X25-M?

From pushing the power button to launching firefox takes 32 seconds with my X25-V.

It is interesting that putting Leopard installation disc in and it will install the the OS without actually wipe out my current setting. I am still amazed.

The temp of the macbook pro is still high. SSD didn't help much in this domain

However, the battery last a bit longer i say in the neighborhood of 30-40 mins longer.

Opening application is blazing fast. I love this aspect the most

Is it booting up faster now?

 

[solarisc]

yes it is faster now.

The boot time was 23 seconds after fresh installation. After installation of the updates (10.0.2 now), it is now 29 seconds boot time.

Why?

I don't know if it worths it to go back to the fresh installation for saving 6 seconds but still..dont' like this.

hmmm

It said this : 2CV102HA

Thanks much acurafan

Not sure about for the Mac, but to check the firmware version of mine (my SSD is in a PC), I downloaded the disc image from Intel's site and booted from it. It checks your firmware version, and updates it if needed.

No, 2CV102HD is the latest firmware update. Intel provides a CD iso you burn and boot to update your Mac laptop. It mainly addresses write performance issues.
