OCZ Vector 256GB + MBP

[Hexley]

Anyone hooked up this high performance SSD onto any MBP? Would love to hear feedback if it'll work on a mid-2010 or late 2011 13-inch. 😀

Did a bit of digging and found this.

===============

The vector has been tested in the following Macs:

Mac Mini 3,1
Macbook 4,1
Mac Mini 4,1
Mac Pro 5,1
Macbook Pro 5,5
Macbook Pro 6,2
Macbook Pro 8,1
Macbook Pro 8,2
Macbook Pro 8,3
Macbook Pro 9,1

Results are also here from an Nvidia based Mac: http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/f...OCZ-Vector-on-Mac-results&p=767315#post767315

The drive was very recently released, I've never even heard of it. Is it even being sold anywhere yet?

Interesting. The 840 Pro is actually $20 less right now. If I were in the market I'd probably go with the Samsung even though it's a pain to update the firmware via OSX.

+1, just read the Anandtech review on the Vector and though it's an impressive feat for the company it still falls below the 840 Pro. Seeing as it is cheaper, i would go with the Samsung.

I read somewhere that samsung may be releasing a mac version of SSD magician which would make life a lot easier on that front

I agree. Samsung generally has had a better track record in terms of validation. OCZ currently is in a state of corporate flux; while I'm not implying that it is going to cease being a company anytime soon it has yet to prove itself as more than a budget memory company trying to play with the big boys (Intel and Samsung).

I am a bit wary with Samsung. I dislike the idea of rewarding bad behavior.

But you guys have a point about OCZ being able to honor the 5 year warranty the drive being available in the last 30 days.
