I want to put the OCZ Vertex 2 in my '09 MacBook pro to replace a 7200 320GB drive. At around $163, that's about $1.35 per gigabyte. Does anyone have experience with SSD's in MacBook pro's? I hear there is no TRIM command, so will I be experiencing some big slowdowns after a few months of use?
You're going to want to do your own research here (and also start a thread in the Apple Sanctuary, if one does not already exist), but basically, if an OS doesn't support TRIM, then you're going to want to use one with very good garbage collection.
Off the top of my head (again, do your own research!), Intel's G1 had great garbage collection because it lacked Trim altogether, and Sandforce based drives, which support Trim, also have better than average garbage collection. OCZ's Vertex 2, as mentioned above, is a Sandforce based drive!
