Hello, I am interested in purchasing this mac mini, but would like to know the specs on the SSD, what are the read/write, speeds, etc? Thanks.

Its a samsung drive. Its pretty darn fast. I replaced a quadcore mac pro with this and havent looked back.

Thanks, but I was looking for a more technical answer than "pretty darn fast".

There are several version of MACBook Pro. But the interface is SATA @6G/s for the HD. THIS IS NOT a full SSD drive but a hybrid. I have 2 in a RAID (non MAC) and they work fine.That is the deciding factor. The new drives are all SSD. See this article to help with what model you have and whether you feel comfortable with dissecting your MAC. http://www.extremetech.com/computing/58220-upgrade-your-macbook-pros-hard-drive-2

The 2006 MacPro doesn't support the full speed of an SSD, because of its PCI bus spec. Those Macs were PCI 1.0 I think. So you'd be looking at SATA I speeds at best. If you were using a very fast HDD, an upgrade to a SSD might not give you that big a boost. It certainly won't give you the max speed specs listed for the SSD.

sorry not to answer your question directly but be I wanted to warn you that this drive only lasted 10 months before dying when installed on a macbook pro 2010 model. if you comb through other reviews you'll see the same report by others.

That's one of my favorite MacBook Pro models! Nickname is "Glossy". Yes, that is the correct RAM type and speed, but the A1150 only supports 2GB of RAM. If you install 4GB, it will not recognize the additional memory. This is the second generation of Intel Macs, and the memory addressing is limited by the processor and the logic board. It's also a 32-bit processor, so you're going to be limited in your upgrading options (both software and hardware) going forward. If you are looking to speed this computer up, you might consider upgrading the Hard Drive to a solid state drive. It isn't as fast as RAM, but it will minimize the "spinning colored wheel" you're probably getting when launching apps or browsing the internet. You can get a small SSD for &lt;$100. Installation is tricky if you've never done it before, so you might be springing for labor. Hope that helps.

I have Mt Lion, I am not sure if there are any issues with previous OS's.. I can't imagine it being a problem, especially if you're using it as a sole hard drive.. I have the stock 1TB hdd as a secondary internal in my 2012 Mac mini, and if you pay attention to the OWC instructions on setup, it works like a dream. I can only imagine hardware not being compatible if anything. I really don't know 100%, but I assume you will be safe

The lasted firmware v1.5 was pre-installed! But you don't mind if you install new OS. If using this SSD for Macbook, you may be need download TRIM Enable software to turn on TRIM function.Good luck for all!

8 and right after I plugged it in 8.1 became available but i couldn't figure out how to upgrade! Think it was suppost to be free but I wasn't able to do so.It's been in the box for the last 3 months, haven't had time to plug it back in.I got it for the XP thing ending.Liked it though, but my Mac mini fits better on the shelf !

Hello, on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270 you can confirm for your laptop configuration what memory do you need. It seems - PC3-8500 DDR3 1066MHz type RAM. You can install max 8 GB 2x4GB of 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1066 MT/s (PC3-8500). Yes, this memory will workk on your Mac. With my new SSD it is FLYING! :)

It should work fine. I used it in a Mac Mini Late 2012. Just connect it first with a USB adapter and format and copy your system to it then change out the drive. I used Carbon Copy program - it is great because it also makes the recovery partition on the new SSD.

This will be a great investment. I actually bought 2 for my Macbook Pro late 2011 17". I didnt have any use for the CD ROM so got a caddy to mount one of the drives. As it stands one of the SSDs is used as the system boot drive and the next to store media files (Photos and videos). I moved from a boot time of almost 2 minutes to 12-15 seconds, applications now load much faster. I think you will enjoy your purchase.

Stephen, Sonnet stated that the limit was the early Mac 2008. On my Mac which is an early 2008 Mac Pro, when I installed the card, you where able to see the SSD but I wasn't able to boot the SSD so I went to their support page and downloaded a firmware upgrade and now it does does boot and works flawlessly.

Hi I just received the computer (2gig). I bought MAC compatible 2x2gig memory from newegg.com for about $96 (incl. shipping). Opening the back panel was pretty easy (you do need #00 philips driver). It took literally less than 5 minutes to do it.

J.M., I have researched this and have no answer for you. I, too, own one of these and love it. It is beautiful and, as another MAC owner stated, am thinking of ordering another as backup. Wish to have been of more help. Enjoy, Robert

Lots of rumors in last day or two about the next refresh of Macbook Pro. As per the rumor mill:1. MBP will have a complete redesign with SSD (Solid State Drive) similar to the current Macbook Air.2. No optical drive3. Will have Intel Light Peak to connect peripherals4. More reliable as no moving parts, faster due to SSD instead of Hard disks, more efficient power consumption and so on.Boy, I never knew Mac world is whole new dimension away from Windows world. Never seen such buzz about a Windows model :) Seriously, I hope these rumors don't belong in the tinfoil hat territory.If any of these rumors is true, what about the price? Will Uncle Jobs jack up the prices? Lots of rumors in last day or two about the next refresh of Macbook Pro. As per the rumor mill:1.
