I posted before on other thread.


1) my SSD + Optibay setup:


2) The internal of my MBP13

bro, mind to share with us the boot up time?
i'm still considering if its worth the price

I'm planning to purchase my first Apple OS X pc

Which is better Macbook Pro of Macbook Air
I would like to know should I upgrade the memory via apple or self upgrade which is cheaper ?

And should I upgrade the warranty to 3 years ?

you have to specify your usage then you will know which hardware is better for you.
no point asking here which is better because both is for different purpose.
ram can self upgrade for MBP but MBA can't self upgrade.
if you're planning to stick to this mac for a long time, then get Apple Care.
if not don't bother getting one

guys, i search everywhere but none of the computer shops got 1TB internal hdd for my mbp. one of the staffs told me that its possible to use external usb hdd instead. i have got a 1TB WD My Passport juz recently bought, any idea if its suitable to remove its casing and install into my mbp. dun wanna waste time to remove and end up not suitable. thanks in advance.

i suppose it could work. but i dont think there's an easy way to take the drive out from that casing. probably have to break it open. cannot find the 1tb hdd online?

If you break the case, you might not get warranty. Even the HDD.
You can get 1TB drive from C-Zone lowyat or Digital Mall, it fit Unibody MacBook Pro..

why do u need so much space on the go? and its not value for money either at that capacity

Some people needs space, due to applications, softwares and games bro. Also, most students uses their MBP to be their primary computer.

but if you only get much space without the increase of speed. it would be quite lagging. no point to get 1 tb of space if its take a couple of minutes accessing it. lol

Not unless U plan to go to SSD route with 2nd Big size HDD at optibay. Best of both world.

Anyone tried the new OCW electra 6G ssd?
Saw the benchmark, it's the same as vertex 3

Hi,

Wondering if anyone would advise me on choosing a high performance memory for my Macbook Pro 15"? I've just bought it less than 2 weeks ago but noticed that whenever I use Parallel Desktop, it sucked up the resources and made the notebook go slow. Yes, I'll be using VM a lot.

Any recommendation?

Cheers,
Jeremy

actually the more free space (by percentage of the hdd total space), the faster ur computer will run. but not that noticeable la

i think high performance ram is only for overclocking purposes. if u dont overclock, they will perform just like standard ram. the ram speed is tied to ur cpu's FSB. correct me if im wrong.

try adjust the ram made available for ur virtual machine. maybe half of ur total ram? 2gb is fine for me... for fusion3 + win7 32-bit la. upgrade to 8gb if u dont think u have enough.

my experience with 8gb. i can tell u 4gb is quite sufficient. 8gb really hard to utilised all. I use PD6+window xp, excel, safari, movie, Photoshop and etc only reach 6gb once... Normally usage level at 4gb only.

Hey, I plan to upgrade my MB Alu's HDD to Momentus XT. But I've heard different reviews. Some days there are freezing etc. Any Momentus XT users care to clarify?

MomentusXT user here...No freeze. There is a new firmware not long ago. I would suggest to flash it if your still on old version

Thanks.

Is is just plug and play? Remove the old HDD den put the moments xt and den insert OSX cd?

Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me if Kingston (KTA-MB1333/4G) is compatible with Macbook Pro 15" Early 2011?

I suppose I can install 2 x KTA-MB1333/4G to get my 8GB memory upgrade ya? (Not sure if this is the right way of upgrading to 8GB)

That's the right way
