SSD in 2006 Mac Pro. Which one? Worth it?

[Nimrad]

I bought myself a used Mac Pro from a designer company very cheap and I'm very happy with it. But I want to buy an SSD. Which one is the way to go? I have been looking at the Crucial RealSSD C300 2,5" 128GB for a while now and it looks pretty good, but is there a special one I should go for since Macs don't have TRIM-support?

Thank you so much for the help!

These are the two that I would recommend I have the OWC 128GB in my Macpro 2.1 http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/internal_storage/Mercury_Extreme_SSD_Sandforce/Solid_State_Pro
and I just bought the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227590

Good luck with your new SSD

I got mine from http://www.otherworldcomputing.com/ . The specialize in Mac parts, so there are no worries about compatiblity.

I just bought this one and I like it a lot. $205 after rebate.

It's a 3.5" drive, so no adapters are needed. Just screw it to an existing hard drive sled and slide it in place.

It has a Sandforce controller which generally does the same job as TRIM, without needing TRIM support in the OS. Sandforce seems to be well regarded by most.

Nice one! But is it kind of new? Cause no shops here in Norway...

It's been around a little while at least. There are many resellers, perhaps you can find one that ships internationally:
