Has anyone had any positive experiences with installing[/updating to] Yosemite 10.10 on your JetDrive? (10.10 doesn't support TRIM on non-Apple SSDs.)

I haven't had any troubles with this drive and Installed it while using Yosemite Bata. I have installed the full Yosemite and still have no troubles.

Apple has instituted a driver signing system in 10.10 called kext signing, or kernel extension signing. It prevents drivers other than Apple's from loading. You can disable kext signing with a script and enable trim using the script here: https://gist.github.com/slagdang/4485183However, you probably are better just living with no trim. This is because, at intervals, Yosemite will re-enable kext signing and your system will not boot. You have to go into recovery mode and do some rig-a-mo-role.Your non-trimmed drive will probably be fine for the time most people keep computers.Other than trim not being enabled, it seems to work fine with Yosemite.

I would suggest that you contact the seller directly and make sure this comes with a driver (basically a small program) that works with Yosemite. The driver that came with it when I bought it seems to no longer work, and I have not been able to find updated drivers anywhere.

Hello M.V. Ly, We have a free software download called JetDrive Toolbox on our website that enables TRIM for OSX.

This drive is compatible with Mac OSX 10.8, so I imagine there are no problems with somewhat earlier releases of OSX like what you have. I always do my own drive reformatting/partitioning since drives arrive from the factory in Apple Partition Map/APM partitioning (because it's compatible with the old PowerPC based Macs), but I prefer the GUID Partition table/GPT partitioning scheme because it's what's required to boot from an Intel-based Mac (all Macs for the last several years). All of these can be easily changed with the "Disk Utility" software that comes with every Mac. You can reformat, repartition, etc. In any case, even if you don't repartition or reformat it should work just fine with your Mac

You can install it without need for Tiger, Leopard, etc. I think that legally, you should have Tiger or Leopard to install Snow Leopard, but I wouldn't recommend upgrading over an existing system. It's OK if you don't have iLife or iWork, as when I bought my Mac over three years ago (had Tiger) that didn't have serial number for iWork, and so I'd assume that any 'bonus' software like that you'd have to pay for anyway. Hope this helps. Don't use Time Machine--just copy all your important documents and whatever else to the other drive manually. That's what I do. I don't trust backup programs (many people don't--I've read some horror stories in the past on data loss).

Yes, I actually move files between Yosemite and and earlier version without a problem. Until I figured I could file share between computers! Now I just use it to back up.

The drive works well on my system, an iMac running OS 10.9 (Mountain Lion). I did a quick online search and found users reporting no problems using OS 10.5 (Leopard) and several versions in between. Check your OS and search for the drive and your specific OS

Yes it has TRIM support, most all SSD's do now daysas for firmware I can't answer that

http://www.transcendusa.com/Apple/jetdrivelite/ Compatibility list ate the endo of the page (apparently, no MBP non-retina compatibility). For that, maybe you could look to a regular SDHC 10 card

I'm running 10.8 as well, so I'm not sure, but I wouldn't think you'd have any problems. The drive comes with some software but none of it is required to use the drive. More interesting though is why you would want a USB 3.0 drive with a Mac running 10.5. Anything stock from that era doesn't have USB 3.0. So unless this is a Mac Pro that you've swapped a new USB controller card into, you can find cheaper 2.0 drives. Otherwise, spring for the $20 to upgrade your OS and then you won't have any worries.

Nope. Your XBOX doesn't have the functionality that can format and set up the drive by itself. It will be on SATA I or II most likely and terrible controllers that will gain nothing from the SSD. Plus, with TRIM it will kill the SSD slowly and you won't have nearly as much storage for the money using an SSD. Don't do it; it won't work.

I am using their latest driver 3.2.0 and it is listed as updated for 10.10 (Yosemite), but no update for 10.10.1 yet per their website, but I'm using the Quad with 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Maverick was the big problem from the reviews I read. I hope that helps you.

Yes, I use Mac Yosmite and Dragon Dictate works fine at times. At other times its temperamental. It crashes and re-launches a few seconds later. Thankfully you don't lose much work. overall, its manageable but takes a few seconds extra. I have not been able to work this out though!

I'll have to answer that in two parts: first, as long as you order the correct memory, it should definitely fit and work in your system; as to whether it will solve the speed issues, the parts of Yosemite that are memory hogs will be helped by adding memory, but there are also other issues, such as net access that memory can't solve. I hope this answers your question.

Just to throw in my 2 cents here, the Disk Utility reformat mentioned above in Andrew's post is spot-on. The drive so far as been great to use. However, I'm running Mac 10.5.6 and it was immediately recognized when I first plugged it in: it mounted and Time Machine asked if I wanted to use it for backups...I did the reformatting anyway as the apps on board are no use to a Mac owner.BTW, the $99 price was unbelievable!Fingers crossed on reliability,Yikesboy

This SSD works perfectly on a Mac. After install you want to search Google for a tool called "Trim Enabler" this will enable the built-in trim in OSX for third party Solid State Drives. Trim Enabler is found on a site called groths.org (I have no affiliation with the software, I have just used it many time with good success).

On my early 2008 15" Macbook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.2, I plugged it in and it immediately worked. No drivers, no restart, good to go. I have a GMyle card with a Fresco FL1000 chip, and a nameless card with an NEC UPD720202 chip, and neither worked despite endless hacked drivers and workarounds. This seems to be the one.
