MACBOOK PRO 2009 SSD UPGRADE UPDATE
My latest update was done on my iMac 24″ mid 2007, when mavericks practically killed it (it had 1tb hdd). I bought samsung 840, put it there and it became a perfect FAST machine (Getting 220 write/270 read). Then i though, hey, i gotta update my late 2009 mini which i use as server/plex mediacenter/ nba league pass (which still has 2gb ram and 160 hdd, poor thing). I bought crucial m500 120gb just RANDOMLY cause it was the cheapest one on amazon and it will be delivered tomorrow. Then, this evening i went to check mini’s sata speeds (hoped it was 6gb/s) and i saw Link speed – 3Gb/s, negotiated speed – 1,5Gb/s. Started googling and found A LOT of MacBooks from 2009 had 1,5 instead of 3gb sata, people complaing and stuff like that, posting screenshots with ssd that had like 100write/120read speeds (that’s BAD) I was so angry and I though “Oh god, apple screwed us, sata 1 in almost 2010? really?” Then i checked the 160gb hitachi hdd and it was SATA1! Oh, rejoice i thought, it’s 1,5 only because they put an old, slow sata1 hitachi! Started googling to see what speeds people were getting on late 2009 mini and couldn’t find anything aside “yeah.
Thanks a lot, friend! Tomorrow i will perform the update and will return to share my results! then i stumbled upon your blog and OOooohhh, what a relief! I guess i’m lucky i chose m500 without even knowing it’s the best thing for this nvidia controller, god, you saved me this sleepless night.
