Stuck a Vertex plus 120GB SSD in my macbook last week, fresh install of lion and all seemed fantastic. Lovely and fast.
Got home, opened it up and it woke from sleep and hung... seemed to do this fairly often - not 100% but probably getting on for 50% of the time :-(
Firmware on drive was 3.5 as shipped, I upgraded it to 3.55 (latest) and no difference. Mac is completely up to date as far as software update goes.
I've not hacked it to allow trim support, I've just replaced the internal drive. Stick the old drive back in and it's fine.
Plenty of other people reporting similar problem, but also plenty reporting no issues. Before I send it back as not compatible (OCZ claim it is compatible) I just want to sanity check that I'm not missing anything.
I've told the mac not to powersave disks. I've now used pmset to set hibernate mode to 0 (it was 3 as I'd expect). No difference at all.
Anything else to try? I can't see any more suggestions on here - I've posted on OCZs forums but have had no feedback.
Shame, it's fantastically fast now, but I can't live with not being able to sleep it :-(
Cheers,
Darren
