SSD in my Mac Pro *updated with performance figures* (and video)

Well I think I'm gonna plump for my SSD in there and an Optibay for the 320GB that's coming with the MacBook :)

Just hope the late 08's will take the 12.5mm drives, for future upgrading

Does OSX support TRIM? If not, is this an issue?

No it doesn't. Whether it's an issue or not is a complicated question. The short and brief answer is a cautious 'no', but it really depends on the controller.

When prices come down I'm going to replace the 80GB X-25M I have in the PC with something bigger and treat the MBP to my old SSD.
 
That's not true. 13" Unibody units will take a 12.5mm drive.

Pre-unibody devices the only units that would accept 12.5s were the 17s.
 
Here you go, a quick demo of how quick it was to launch CS5. I'd just rebooted and this was the first time I'd opened Photoshop so nothing was cached. The file I loaded is about 6Mb.

 
Early 2008 Mac Pro with 2 x 2.8GHz Quad core Xeons, 10Gb RAM and an 8800GT graphics card.

Thats my ultimate setup for a highly mobile 'work station', 6g ram, 1tb 2.5" and a SSD, probs the vertex2 SSD, how snappy is your system?

Blinding :D

My work stuff involves a lot of heavy duty systems. Today for example I was testing a 600,000 user OCS SQL Back End database - very impressive.

I know this is Windows 7 running office 2010 rather than pure 'mac' but check out this video:


That's virtualised. None too shabby.

It's by far the most capable unit I've ever used.
 
Pretty much same Mac Pro as I have now the SSD is in. SSD has definitely given my mac the biggest performance increase. I've noticed slowdown since I put it in but not anything to complain at, and that was nearly a year ago I think
