U can alway bring your MBP to the PC shop. Open up and install the ram on the spot. Then power up, run some ram test to confirm ok.

Do tell the shop before hand that U want to test the ram before buy. Normally they will ok one.

anyone here using vertex 3 on their mbp? any problems? or any other sata 3 ssd perhaps? other then vertex 3

Hai there,

Still undecided to buy which ram...

Mushkin - saw in selling thread got reseller here.
It had 2 type, 1 apple certificate cost 2xx, the 1 normal notebook just rm98

Of course I'm on budget, will get the normal one, but any issue?

Any mushkin user?

ask them to let you try first, test it then if theres no problem then its gonna be fine

Been searching for review and
Just order mine,

OWC 8.0GB(4.0GB+4.0GB Kit) PC8500 DDR3 1066MHz SO-DIMM Memory...

Next SSD...

you got it directly form OWC?
if yes, which shipping method?

Yes directly...

Took the $5....
and wait... haha...

The cheapest rate...

Saw past post from other forumer that order OWC too..
How many days?

I didn't purchase it because of the shipping.
Cheapest one doesn't have tracking number.
Many cases of USPS International went missing

Well will wait and see...
Hope nothing goes wrong....

touch wood la..normally my item all came in from states. should be ok.

Got email from OWC.
OWC Ram has been shipped!
Now waiting the ram to Malaysia...

How long it will take? 1 or 3 weeks?

guys, i have been hunting for 1TB internal HDD for my mbp for weeks. no news, end up i get one the shops in JB to indent order for me. but according to the shop they said that forum has mentioned that mbp will slow down if i install this WD 1TB HDD. just wanna check if its really true? anyway i have place my bet, waiting for item to arrive.

Guys,
Been reading regarding SSD stuff and find out that the Macbook Pro 2010 only support Sata ll that is 3G speed. Right?

So if i buy 6G speed that it useless right?

And advantage if using 6G?

Cheers...

WD's 1tb 2.5" hdd is the scorpio blue, which runs at 5400 rpm. their 7200rpm scorpio black line doesnt have 1tb sizes

if ur current drive is 5400rpm then u shouldn't experience any decrease in speed. if u're currently using 7200rpm butdowngrading to 5400rpm, the speed decrease is actually very2 small

my WD blue scorpio just arrived and now m installing mac os x leopard. so far so good. now installing apps. i gone to a site yesterday but can't remember which site, is there an app that lets u test ur hdd speed? coz someone on forum said that its speed decreased after install this hdd, but maybe he got a defective unit. so just wanna confirm. oh yah, this 12.5mm hdd fits perfectly into my mbp (mid 2009).

can i just check if its required to update my os x leopard before installing lion? or i can install lion straight after i use the leopard cd that comes with my mbp. thanks

u need at least snow leopard 10.6.6 for lion cuz that's the only way to get the mac app store

if u already have the lion dmg, i guess no problem

Planning to upgrade my mbp 13" 2011 ram. So i just go lowyat and buy those normal kingston ram? Or any other brand is better?

yes those kingston ram should work.

if possible, bring ur MBP along and request them to test out the RAM 1st, just in case

bro,
is mushkin recommended?

i would rate it like this

first choice: OWC, crucial, apple original, kingston KTA, any 'for mac' rams

2nd choice: corsair, mushkin

3rd choice: kingston
