Hi,
Two days ago, I installed a OCZ Vertex 2 120 GB SSD into my MBP. It's amazingly silent and fast, but there are some issues.
Since I got the SSD, my Mac is freezing every now and then. I can't do anything for like 15 seconds (I see the colored rotating ball). This is very annoying and totally defeats the purpose of having a fast SSD.
UPDATE: the freezes do not happen when using Windows 7 on Bootcamp.
Anyone with similar experiences?
1. Are there any ways to check what the problem is? I already verified the disk with disk utility and the disk was OK.
2. Now the stock firmware is on the SSD. Could a firmware update resolve the problem? Is it possible to do a firmware update from my Windows Bootcamp partition?
3. Also I have only 110,5 GB usable out of the 120 GB. Is this normal?
I would be really happy if you can help me out!
