Remember, it’s a free application! So try it and give me some feedback!

I would like to tell you more about the latest upgrade I’ve done to my MacBook Pro 17″ (Early 2008 version, or MacBookPro 3,1 as in System Profiler).
After a lot of research, I found the best Solid State Disk (SSD) for price/performance. The little beast is a OCZ Vertex 120Gb.

First, I wanted to keep also my internal 7200 rpm 200Gb hard disk to keep all the pictures, songs and movies always with me. To achieve my goal, I also had to buy a “container” for it and I found the perfect one: MCE OptiBay (with also the USB enclosure for the SuperDrive).

In total I spent less than 600 USD but allow me to say that this is the biggest upgrade I had on a computer/Mac in the last 5 years at least!

You don’t believe me? Just to state some nice number, the boot time for Leopard 10.5.6 with my usual programs started at boot went down from a boring 2 minutes and 30 secs to a staggering 38 seconds.
I repeat, 38 SECONDS!

But that’s not all, now every application starts in less than a “bounce” on the dock! For the rest, even when all the applications are open, the overall performance is just.. better! The system is always responsive and snappy!

Some tips:

• In the non unibody MBP, install the SSD instead of the included HDD and then remove the SuperDrive in favor of the HDD. The reason is simple: the HDD of the laptop is connected to a SATA cable while the SuperDrive just to a slower ATA.
• Don’t overload the SSD with useless data (remember, the price per GB is way higher on the SSD and wasting it for mp3s you’ll never listen to is not that smart)
• If you can, update the firmware of the SSD (OCZ forums are really helpful)

I leave you with some picts of the “surgical operation”

Almost a month ago I flew from NYC to the sunny San Francisco for business. There I met again Albert, a good friend of my father and definitely also mine, specially after everything he did for me there! Thank you again, Albert!!

Anyways, through Albert I met Shaun, a nice ultra-cool ex-soldier now working for Apple in Cupertino… I couldn’t ask more
So, at the end we ate inside the Apple Cafeteria! I even got a badge from Apple! Of course, outside there is the “Company Store”, which is the only one that sells cool t-shirts and Apple gadgets. How it ended up? That I spent more than 80 bucks in Apple merchandise, including the discount provided by Shaun

Some pictures, enjoy them

By the way, I reached New York City this morning and for the next months I’m gonna live here!
