Hi,

Has anyone had any experience of these in their MacBook Pro? Im looking to buy one and am after some first hand feedback.

Cheers :)
 
I'm not sure if it works on the MPB. I did mine in a PC. I guess there will be info on Crucial's website.

I just spoke to Crucial support and they said you just boot it from cd as you would on a PC and it updates :) Fantastic :D

Why did you decide to sell it, Phil?

For my usage a the Seagate XT is fast enough. I don't do much besides surfing, Word, Excel and watching a video.

SSD is a little bit faster but I'd rather have the 500GB XT.
 
I have a 512GB Micron C400 for sale for $800 if anyone is interested.

Used it lightly for three months but switched to a Intel 320 instead. I also have the firmware upgrade on the CD if anyone is interested. Just got tired of fussing with it.

I hope you are aware of the firmware bug of the Intel 320 that causes data loss.

I didn't feel like dealing with the SATA III issues any longer and the Intel 320 had a 600 GB version that I prefer. By the time I realized Firmware 002 is out, the Intel had already been installed.

Honestly, in my day-to-day usage, I cannot tell a difference between the two drives. At this point, I'm just looking to get rid of the C400 to offset the cost of the new SSD.

Not on my 2011 MBP it isn't, either my own 15" or the 13" my work supplied me with.

sorry for the confusion,
The more recent 2011 models had their sata ports revised so they will both run on sata3. Only downside is, some ssd's wont work in the optibay.
