The Corsair SSD has improved boot and operation speeds dramatically. Before the upgrade, booting from cold start took 2.5 to 3 minutes. Now, total time from power off to complete boot and all systems go is 40 seconds! All programs load quicker. iTunes, one of my slower loading programs pops up after just 1 to 2 bounces on the dock compared to 8-12 before the upgrade. MacSpeech performance is much better. Now, I never get ahead of the program and it has made MacSpeech much more appealing to use.
My MacBook Pro is an intel model version that immediately predated the revision with the permanent battery. The effort to remove the old hard drive and install the new is minimal. No more than 8 to 10 minutes total. It does require a Torx screw removal, so a set of computer tech tools is needed. These kits can be bought for less than 30 dollars.

I have a Lenovo X201s that came with a fast 7,200 hard drive and an Intel i7 CPU. I bought this drive because I wanted to speed up boot and shut-down times, which were very acceptable but not anywhere near Mac performance. The drive installed without a hitch and fits perfectly into the slot. It may be an easier install on new ThinkPads because they come with a BIOS that supports solid state drives.
Now my laptop boots up in less than a minute and shuts down in less than 15 seconds. The PCMark Vantage 64 benchmark test (I have Windows 7 with 64 bit) comes out at around 10,000 (9,985 exactly), fully 50% faster than before installing the drive (6,873). The drive is silent and the fan almost never runs. Battery life is better. This is now one of the fastest, most stable laptops I’ve ever seen!

Installed this in a 3-year old laptop and it gave it new life! Worth the price in time saved. I used to start Outlook and then have to wait a few minutes before I could do anything. Now I can send an email, check the calendar, etc. in a couple of seconds. Startup, shutdown and every program I run is much faster as well. If you need to copy your old hard drive files, use this product to do it:

Extremely fast – during a upgrade to Windows 7 on my new notebook had lots of restarts (OS, drivers, applications, etc.) – this drive made them all super fast. Internet downloads from the super faster. Installing applications was a easy as well. Drive replaced a Seagate 320gb/7200 which was no slouch btu this new SSD blew past it.
