QUOTE(gcwc @ Sep 1 2011, 11:41 AM) I am also facing the same situation get it from Jayacom, they let me try and gave me 14 days to test it. Asked a few reseller but they alwiz say there's no guarantee and no trying.....  if it doesn't work perfectly in the 14 days they would have gave me a refund. but it turns out to be working fine  |

QUOTE(x-199Tx @ Sep 1 2011, 03:54 PM) @BRY7 still the price is too much of a difference.KVR = Kingston ValueRAM = Generic KTA = Kingston Apple = guaranteed compatible with Mac i bought KVR 2 weeks ago for only RM69/4GB stick no problems so far till now, only too fast when multitasking  This post has been edited by BRY7: Sep 1 2011, 03:58 PM |

QUOTE(x-199Tx @ Sep 1 2011, 03:58 PM) Erm so far there ain't anyone having an issue with KVR ( not as far as I know of ) not everyone would pay for the premium price.But guess to make me feel more secured I would go for the KTA even Corsair have Apple Certified rams, around the same price as KTA  |

QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Sep 8 2011, 09:27 PM) i bought the momentus xt for my mbp before. for some reason the performance become worse and worse after a few weeks. i got it RMA'd, but the second one also faced similar issue. sold it off n bought a hitachi travelstar 5k500 instead. im probably the only one here with that issue though. i know a few forumers here using the momentus xt without problems will the faster spinning speed damage the disk quicker?your crucial ram should work some macs do come with the same micron chip that corsair use (well at least they used to, dunno nowadays)7200rpm... rpm means revolutions per minute. so 7200rpm drive spins more than a 5400rpm drive. |

SSD start up should be around 10-15 seconds.
depending on which SSD models. fastest ones are OCZ Vertex 3 and OCW Mercury Electra 6G |
