MPB goes SSD

I started rebuilding my Macbook Pro on my new SSD machine.   It is almost eerie to use as it is so quiet, so cool to the touch and so so fast.    I am copying over single folders and scratch installing everything else.   I hope to my Mac issues are behind me with this newest machine.

For those interested in specs:

17 inch Macbook Pro

2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor

500GB solid-state drive

8GB (two 4GB SO-DIMMs) of 1333MHz DDR3 memory

Antiglare widescreen display (great for photographers)

      There are the Danbos! Haha.

      I’m just reading through your posts re: earthquake & tsunami. You were among the first people I thought off. Glad to see you’re all ok. My thoughts & prayers for everyone there.

      I am very jealous indeed. Im a massive Apple fan, have the 27″ iMac, Mac Book Pro, iPhone, iPad, 4 x Apple TV Units, and I even have an Apple tattoo. Yeh – totally true! haha.

      I was very surprised to hear about your constant troubles with Apple Hard Drives though. I’ve used Apple products for around 5 years, and never once had a failure.

      Dave, evil Charles here… i just ordered the 16GB memory upgrade for my 2011 17″ MBP. This is the link : http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/1333DDR3S16P/

      While you are at it, order the bracket to convert your DVD bay to accept another SSD or a 1 TB HDD …

      For the love of photography :)
