Upgraded my Mac Book Pro to SSD Drive and 8G RAM

this is really fast, booting the mac book is like waking up from sleep mode. awesome ~ I didn't measure the time difference, but I am sure you can find lots of proof from youtube. this post is just to reference the compatible SSD drive.


this is my Mac Book Pro model:

Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,5
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.53 GHz

this is my new SSD drive:

PLEXTOR  PX-128M2S

please be aware that this one is SATA 3. I tried another Intel SATA 3 before which did not work on my Mac Book pro.

My Mac Book pro does not support SATA 3, so it will run as if it is SATA 2. However, I can still use it for my next machine. not bad.
