| 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful This review is from: Samsung SSD 830 2.5inch SATA III 6GBps 256GB Notebook Accessory Kit with Free Norton Ghost 15 (Personal Computers) Although it is not the most expensive SSD on the market it is defiantly in the top 10! It is currently running in my MacBookPro, the SSD is one of the rare examples of how a SSD should work. The Samsung SSD is what i was looking for, It is cheaper than competing OCZ, Inter..... SSD's. I tested a OCZ Vertex 3 and had some major issues with it, OCZ never responded to my correspondence which is why i ultimately returned the drive. Samsung has their own controller and it works beautifully, no freezes and amazing performance!! A must have. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful By This review is from: Samsung SSD 830 2.5inch SATA III 6GBps 256GB Notebook Accessory Kit with Free Norton Ghost 15 (Personal Computers) I've finally found a fast, reliable SSD that works "out of the box" with the MacBook Pro.

Highly recommended for MacBook Pro upgrades 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful This review is from: Samsung SSD 830 2.5inch SATA III 6GBps 256GB Notebook Accessory Kit with Free Norton Ghost 15 (Personal Computers) When the price of the 256Gb Samsung Sata III 830 at 6Gbps came down to less than �1/Gb (the price including usb-sata adaptor cable and Norton Ghost 15), I decided to buy it; and what a good decision that was. My Samsung laptop, with its 630Gb, 5400 rpm hdd, has been transformed by the amazing speed of the 256Gb ssd that replaced it.I'm not a pc expert, but I managed to clone the old hdd onto the ssd using Ghost 15 without problems. Most, but not all, of what I had to do is contained in the procedure that's included on the Norton Ghost disk. However, there are several things that aren't, so here's a brief description of all that I had to do: Because the size of the c: drive partition on my hdd was greater than the whole of the 256Gb size of the ssd, I first had to reduce the size of the c: drive partition on the hdd to less than 256Gb. So I started by defragging the c: drive on the existing hdd, following which I reduced the partition to approx 200Gb using the... Read more |
