Check out the sellers in Garage Sales section, got an OEM X25M 160GB for RM500, only a month warranty though. Works great on my mid-2010 MBP .. the boot up is cut down to only 5sec .. and launching application is a snap too.

ya laa.. make sense also.. it should be expected. more rpm, more heat and more vibe feel.. im still looking at the battery consumption, no diff so far.. still can get more than 5 hours on a single charge + using ethernet..

Yeah a tad expensive but they are giving it for half the price if u bundled it with ssd.I guess that is not too bad. Btw, anyone here ever do SPAN on their drive? Need some insight on the performance. Thx.

yeah. almost half the price (for the data doubler). I think they have a promotion or something. You can check it at the macsales. There are few bundle i.e ssd+data bundler, ssd+casing, ssd+datadoubler+ external optical drive enclosure

Hey guys I'm planning to upgrade my MBP 2011 13' memory to 8GB. Is there any recommendation on the compatibility for various vendors?

I'm thinking of Kingston (for best value) or Corsair (for best performance, 1600 MHz?) but was worry about compatiblity issue as some pointed out on G.Skillz RAMs.

i thinking of upgrade my macbook pro ram from 4gb to 8gb..
so was the apple macbook ram same with normal notebook ram?
i wonder where should i go to install my macbook ram? hopefully everyone can give suggestion
i appreciate and thx for helping =)

Is there the need to purchase Apple Certified RAM instead of normal one?

Like Mushkin, there are both Apple Certified (brand # 976647) and non Apple Certified (brand #991647). The price for Apple Certified one are double than that of non-certified.

So hard trying to figure out a suitable and relatively priced RAM for the upgrade to 8GB.

it's 1.5k.

check here for the features of Drobo...
Drobo!

how about mushkin? is it good? and did as long as follow the specs which stated in manual it can be used?

please take note that..KVR rams doesnt work as same like the ram manufactured for apple..the response is slightly slower.. i did on my new model mac mini..and i notice its slightly slower to respond.

if comparing to the value of money, it is still acceptable.
cheap ram but slow performance.

Hi guys, I have a few questions regarding iMac 2011 ram since I'm planning to upgrade the existing 4GB to 12GB ( add another 2X4GB stick );

1. Any recommended brand?

2. Where can i find shop that sells 2X4GB kit around selangor / kl? Most of them just sell single 4GB stick.

3. http://www.lelong.com.my/crucial-4gb-1333m...3-02-Sale-P.htm - Will this work as dual channel since i bought it separately ( not 2X4GB kit ). I've read somewhere that dual channel 2x4GB kit ram is compatible & has been tested by manufacture to pair together, unlike separate stick. Is it true?

TQ! 

For non critical data you can setup raid 0 for speed and performance.
For critical data you better go for raid 5 for descent performance and speed.

Added on April 26, 2012, 4:49 amI'm also upgrading my HDD to SSD. But i'm having trouble choosing. At first i plan to go for the Vertex 3, but vertex 4 just came out so i'm having second thoughts. Some users online says that the Samsung 830 is better. Any advice?
