I used to own MacBook white fews year back. SC2 out that machine is outdated so i get Alienware m15x been using that for some time and miss Mac alot haha. After 6 month carrying this most powerful laptop in the universe and most heavy laptop in 20th century, and now i'm back to MAC.

MBP 13 tongue.gif. The next day i decided to upgrade the HDD to SSD(OCZ Vertez 2 240gb), and here we go. The boot up time is longer wtf hahaha....

That's wierd, how long was the boot-up before and after the OCZ? I'm also thinking of putting in an SSD in my old MacBook. Hope to give it new life.

Now it take 1 minute +++ so boot up. SSD is fast just that the bootup is slow. Something must be wrong I just dunno why yet. Still searching for solution.

Up to you lor but even Apple states in black & white that all you need is:

-DDR3 SODIMM
-30mm
-1, 2 or 4GB
-204-pin
-PC3-8500 DDR3 1066Mhz

Almost exact wording.

Mine is 10 secs from Apple Logo to LoginWindow or 20 secs from power button press to LoginWindow.

Are you timing with fresh OS install?

Optibay, found 3, ori Optibay with ext usb case for orphaned SuperDrive ($99), newmodeus.com ($45) & eBay ($10). USD. Not including shipping. Haven't seen any locally.
