![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I wouldn't be surprised if Apple used the same controller in the new MacBook Pros. ![]() In the MacBook Air Apple standardized on a Toshiba controller, delivering performance nearly identical to Kingston's SSDNow V+100. We're probably only one more generation away from seeing a standard SSD on some of these models. At $100 for a 128GB drive you really can't beat the upgrade price there. Pricing actually isn't bad for the upgraded 13-inch and especially the upgraded 15-inch models. Other than installing Mac OS X, I pretty much never use the optical drive so the optibay approach in my opinion is a good combination of the performance of an SSD with the mass storage of a mechanical disk.Īpple offers an array of BTO (Build to Order) SSD options, however the drives are likely of average performance. If you need the additional capacity there's always the optibay route, which replaces the optical drive with another 2.5" HDD bay. While 5400RPM is pretty slow, any additional money you spend on storage should go towards an SSD and not a faster mechanical drive. I personally don't mind the lack of hard drive options. All of the models have a single 2.5" 5400RPM hard drive and an integrated slot-load DVD drive. Despite the rumors, the 2011 MacBook Pro lineup does nothing to change the storage setup of the machine. ![]()
