Good experiences after installing ssd in a macbook?
Discussion
Hi,
A couple of months ago my 6-ish year old MacBook (MacBook 5.2, 2.13ghz intel core, 2gb ram) froze up. Correctly diagnosed on here as harddrive failure. I'd like to get it running again as a kids computer and plan to do it with an ssd. I have no fears on the physical side - It's just a few screws and plugs - like taking a door card off.
I do worry about the software side. I've read a lot of stories on the web where people have trouble with partitions and trim etc. Given that I'd be spending at least £60 on a ssd I don't want to have any trouble. Are there lots of satisfied people out there who have easily installed ssd in their macs? And the minority are the ones with problems or am I justified to be worried? I have nothing to 'import' onto the new drive from my current Mac.
Thanks,
Ralph
