#61674 — Old Mac, New Speed

Holy hard drive, Batman!

The 500GB HD on this "17-inch, Early 2008" MB Pro failed two weeks ago.
This machine, one of two 17-inch MBPs that I own, is important to me.

I ran it from the SuperDuper external backup drive for a bit while I
decided what to do. I decided to buy a Crucial 960GB SSD from Amazon.

I did that this evening, then cloned the SuperDuper backup to the new
SSD. I was expecting a little speed bump on this 6-year-old machine, as
I am accustomed to the speed of my 15" MBP Retina SSD, but this far
exceeds my expectations. Aperture, Lightroom, Photoshop, Final Cut Pro,
and astronomy software with huge databases, all load in a flash and run
much faster than I would have dared hope.

Bottom line, at $400-and-something this is a great choice if you're
looking to give new life to an old Mac that is irreplaceable.

I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that
you will say in your entire life.

Well, yes, upgrading from a traditional spindle hard drive to a solid
state drive will dramatically increase the general speed of any
computer.

I don't know. [gets slimed] I never had a real sex before. I am pretty 
sure others had experiences to tell us that. ;)

     Was it really worth your time to write that? Is it worth my time to
write this?

Well yeah, I think it was. It's tedious reading so many of the fan-boy 
posts here. They self-servingly affirm the obvious in a tone that ought 
to be reserved for treatises by Newton, Einstein, or Moses coming down 
off the mountain...

Why do you read the posts, then?

Many of the posts here are from knowledgeable, helpful folks and are 
on-point for issues I have questions about. As a relative Mac newbie, I 
learn a lot from them.

But the fan-boi and girl droids who feign insider status usually just 
regurgitate stuff (sometimes inaccurately) the rumor blogs and real 
insider websites have already published hours previous.

For many of these folks, their reach sadly exceeds their grasp-- and 
they are the tedious ones I was referring to.  Not to mention the 
knee-jerk Defenders of the Faith who rail or take umbrage at any 
question or statement someone posts that reflects an opinion contrary to 
the orthodoxy.

So, once more, if that's your opinion, why do you read the posts?

Oh, probably for the same reason people gawk at a gruesome  bloody

In which case if as a consequence of gawping you run into the geezer in
front, don't complain.

troll.

I've been a Mac user since 1987 and an Apple // user before
