SSD and 4Gb DDR3 upgrade for MacBook Pro - Recommendations?

nichorob · 8 Jan 2009 at 16:57

Evening all,

I have had my aluminum 2.4Ghz, 2GB MacBook Pro now for a couple of months and am now thinking about a couple of upgrades.

Firstly, I would like to upgrade to 4Gb DDR3, is Crucial my best bet?

Secondly, what SSD (at least 120Gb) would be recommended for the MacBook Pro?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply. I remember somebody on here did the same but search isn't working, but how are the cheaper OCZ SSD's that are stocked on OcUK. Been looking at this one in particular. Seems a reasonable price.

I think I will go with Crucial for the DDR3, going for about £95 for the kit.

Nice read NickK thanks

Sorry I forgot all about this post, thank you NickK and EVH for your input.

I may go for the 4Gb upgrade then and shelve SSD for a while then.

I've got an OCZ Core v2 in my MacBook. Put a few posts about it on the blog, so if you want some vids etc have a look on there. There's also plenty about it in the HDD area of the forum. Long and short of it: I love it.

I think I recall you talking about your experiences with it on here, I knew I had your blog in my bookmarks for a specific reason!

If you use the RSS you don't need the bookmark

I had a couple of weeks where I wouldn't shut up about SSD on here, I like mine that much. I'd recommend one till the cows come home.

True. Although as I just commented on your blog, another thing that has recently gone against Safari:
