I installed this as my main system drive on my Macbook Pro. It works fine out-of-the-box and everything loads much faster. A complete restart takes under a minute easily, and that's with all kinds of peripherals attached (hard drives, monitors, printers, etc). I can launch Safari in seconds and everything is just much snappier. I moved all of my larger media files (music, photos, videos) to a 2nd hard disc that now lives in the superdrive bay.There is one big caveat: if you install this on a decent older computer, you'll have a really hard time justifying a new computer. I was in the market for one of those fancy new Macbook Pros w/ Retina display, but after installing this I'm good to go for a couple more years at least. Granted, I'm no power-user by any stretch of the imagination.I will update this review after the SSD gets some hours on it. If you see no updates, you can assume everything is peachy.UPDATE 12/10/12Still going strong. No hiccups whatsoever. Battery life seems better as well. Overall, I'm happy. Will definitely buy another in the future. I'm sold on SSDs.

It took me some days to think about buying a SSD. I read a lot of review, comments and decided to go with Samsung 830 series.The first impression is it is light and slim. It's slimmer than normal 2.5 inch HDD. The process to upgrade is pretty straight forward. Here are the steps that I did:1. Connect the SSD to MBP via usb cable then create an ext2 partition.2. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy the entire Mac partition to the SSD.3. I also have a bootcamp partition that running windows 7, so I use WinClone to create an image for bootcamp partition.4. Turn off and replace the hard disk. Turn on and It only takes about 15s to boot up.5. Everything work fine except the TRIM is not supported (TRIM is only supported for Apple SSD), so search google for how to enable the TRIM feature for Mac OS X. It brings you about 10% to 15% performance.6. Create a windows partition (FAT) and use WinClone again to copy the bootcamp partition from the image to disk.7. Enjoy the speed.

Before this drive, I was experiencing 90-120 second startup times and 30-45 second shutdown times (I have a few servers running). Parallels would resume Windows 7 in about 90 seconds.Now, startups (from clicking the button to login screen) are 25 seconds (13 of which the screen hasn't even turned on yet--the SSD can't speed that up). Tack on 2-4 seconds for logging in and starting my servers, etc. Shutdowns occur in around 10 seconds now, mostly because Crashplan slows things down a bit. Parallels resumes Windows 7 in 7 seconds flat and shuts down in 2-3. Not too shabby.Here are the steps I followed to install this beast:Plug SSD into PC to check for latest firmware. Update if necessary. (Mine came with the latest)Unmount drive then disconnect cablesPut SSD in external eSATA/USB enclosure and plug into MacFormat with Disk utility as a single "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" partitionGet Carbon Copy Cloner (Free) and open itIn Preferences, ensure first check box (Auto create archive of Lion's Recovery HD volume) is checkedSelect Source: Old Macintosh HDSelect all files on the driveSelect Destination: New Macintosh SSDClick CloneIt should walk you through extracting Lion's Recovery Partition. Just follow the stepsIf, for some reason, the clone stops mid-way through, just start it back up again and it should continue where it left off.Once complete, swap the drives and reboot. You'll need a really small philips head screwdriver and torx driver.Note: Upon starting up with the new drive, Little Snitch and a couple other random programs on my computer seemed to have lost some of its preferences.Good luck, and hope this helps someone!
