MBP apple SSD replacement

[Verix]

Since I don't have any experience replacing the hard disk myself nor know anyone that can (otherwise I would definitely opt for an X-25M); if I deliver my 13'' MBP to the apple store and ask for an SSD placement (currently having the 5400 RPM drive), will I get one of the newer SSDs that support TRIM in boot camp? Or can't you really know beforehand ...

Thanks in advance :]

It's not hard to replace the HD, just follow the tutorial.

I'll be replacing my drive when I get a new SSD. From the looks of YouTube videos about it its a pretty easy proceedure (and it won't void your warrenty either!).

How about AHCI & TRIM, will everything be automatically configured (windows)
-when restoring a previous image
-when performing a clean install

Apple don't do hard drive upgrades in store.

You'll probably have to get a reseller to do it, and you can just imagine the cost of that

yes, with Win 7 TRIM will be active... that is, if your SSD has TRIM supported in it.
