Hi all.
Need some help. Just bought the new MBP with lion pre installed and I want to upgrade my hdd to ssd. Since the new MBP didn't come with any installation dvd, I wonder how do i upgrade my hdd and keeping my existing OS? Can i just back up to time machine and then copy everything to the freshly installed ssd? Cheers. |

Cheers man. Would you mind sharing which SSD model do you use? Thinking of getting one this month cause I feel the need for speed.

QUOTE(wiraone @ Oct 2 2011, 06:47 AM) Wow, that data doubler is 3x the price you could get from the ebay. But I guess it worth to go for a branded one .. 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
QUOTE(DarthMaus @ Oct 2 2011, 05:16 PM) is it cheaper if u bulk it? kinda interested also... |
