Hey there,

I'm looking for a SSD that has software that is compatibile for MBP.

The reason whey I ask is because I had bought a samsung 840 pro 250GB (currently in my PC Rig) for my MBP and there were software updates and firmware updates but I couldn't update the firmware and use the software. I don't dare do that in a VM.

I also have an Intel 520 180GB SSD but again no software compatible with the mac to do things like update the firmware - things to keep the SSD in top shape.

So I'm on a hunt to find a SSD that has Mac compatibile software to support it.

Well I just answered my own question by reading this. I'll still post so others can find it.

OWC Releases Mac-Compatible SSD Firmware Updater

It amazes me that the SSD industry didn't think to release an OS independent firmware updater - as the one comment states - "Amateur hour" indeed.
