Mac SSD?

[v12dock]

?? Uhh What?

They're probably using a low-transfer speed SSD. The seek time will still make it much faster than an SAS or SATA drive.

If that's advertising which drive to choose, they should post seek times. That would sell them more SSDs.

it being a mac has nothing to do with it. they are probably using old tech. best call them up and ask what drive they use.

Is this on the new Macbooks?

All the new Mac-book Air's have SSD's, as far as I know. Thats how they made them thinner.

Yeah, but are the numbers OP posted from those drives?

no ssd is that slow on any sata 3 connection so who knows. maybe some error.

Well, the new Macbooks uses slower drives by Toshiba, but you're right that they shouldn't be that slow. Weird.

"Macs use the same hardware as PCs and are just more expensive". Isn't that the current #1 anti-Mac/pro-PC argument? I guess maybe it only applies when people want it to. LOL.

this combines with Sandybridge and OSX Lion would be one amazing laptop

With most of the excitement happening in Apple’s iPad tablet, MacBook Air ultraportable and iPhone 4 smartphone segments, the poor MacBook Pro has been somewhat relegated. The latest rumors, however, suggest that’s all likely to change in April 2011, with Three Guys and a Podcast tipping a significant refresh that will see the new MacBook Pro gain not only up to 512GB of SSD storage in a wholesale shift to solid-state memory, but the adoption of Intel’s Light Peak technology.




“The new MacBook Pros will move to solid state storage, up to 512GB, remove the optical drive, and we believe light-peak is being pushed to make it’s first-ever entrance into the market, another Apple exclusive.” Three Guys and a Podcast

Light Peak is a new, super-high-speed data transfer technology promising – in its first iteration, at least – up to 10 Gbps of bidirectional throughput. Billed as the replacement to USB 3.0, Intel has previously said that the first Light Peak enabled machines should arrive by early 2011; they’ve also worked with Apple on the system, and TGAAP reckon the technology will be a Cupertino exclusive, at least at first.

Finally, the new MacBook Pro will also apparently lose its optical drive, and gain a new version of Final Cut Pro that will also debut in April 2011. Apple is expected to keep a “legacy” 15-inch MBP for those unwilling to drop the DVD burner, priced at around $1,799, but the new machines should kick off at $1,999. It’s unclear exactly what the podcast’s sources are, but they do have a reasonable track history of predicting Apple events.

Woohoo, $100 for a GUI

He's probably googling for more info to bash Macintosh since this thread is not going where he wanted it to go.

those specs look right...did anyone think to look at what type of SSD's those are? Those are probably the SLC (old mlc) laptop SSD's (as in not the big cool square ones that look like small bullet proof bibles) that you can easily find on newegg. observe.

Crucial RealSSD C300 CTFDDAA128MAG-1G1 1.8" 128GB ...

they may also be using one of the pos PATA or internal pci-e ssd's

Nah, they're pretty new. It's the same ones used in Kingston’s SSDNow V+, and the interface is mSata.

Review on Anantech.

gotta be a mistake somewhere. they are trying to sell it as only 2 MB/s faster than the standard drive... (no average user will know about seek time and such)

Im probably to lazy to post anymore infomation
