[QUOTE="Simon Eves, post: 91675, member: 4463"] Re: MacBook Pro Processing Bandwidth Reality Check Well... bugger... :( I was intending to buy one from OWC/MacSales (I've bought a couple from there before for other people) but their 6G range isn't compatible with my 2010 MBP (it says they'll only run as SATA 1.0, not SATA 2.0) and their 3G range was out of stock for three weeks, so I ended my getting an OCZ Vertex Plus R2 240GB from Amazon, which is *not* a Sandforce-based model. It did have plenty of good reviews on their from Mac users, so I figured I was safe enough, but maybe they just haven't hit the problem yet. I remember reading about the whole TRIM business before, too, and completely forgot about it... :( Doubly annoying, because I have also since concluded that I'm probably going to have to use a bigger external drive for the recordings anyway, because I'm not going to be around for some of the shows they want to record, and I'd rather just make it simple for the (teenage) operators and just let them record as much as they want and then I'll sort through it later, rather than them having to copy stuff off and delete it every 2-3 shows (not enough free space on the SSD for more than that) and deleting the wrong thing.
