SSD consumes more power as compare with magnetic disk. I even had problems failing to read disk after using for a couple of weeks. I guess the main suspect is the tiny flex cable in the MacBookPro doesnt supply enough power. (Tested Kingston and Cosair)

I’ve been searching the net in regard to battery life. All in all it is very basic mention that battery life should improve. But all review I come upon only mention the speed and how much faster things are. To me, if battery life is worse than using the oem hd, then I would rather stick with the old hd, since I go out with my mbp without charger throughout my day. Was looking for something to do to optimize my battery that maybe be effected due to the change in hardware. but nope, nothing as of yet.

does your battery seem to be shorter as compared to use the old hd? i upgraded my mbp pre-unibody with the intel x25m. And my battery life seem to be alot shorter.

not much, new MacBook Pro, fully configured with HD of 5400 rpm will boot in about the same time (about 20 sec).

Hi Eric,

Did you had a chance to test the OCZ Vertex SSDs yet? On the paper it should be much faster than the Intel one.
I'm currently thinking about to install a SSD into my MacBook and I don't know which one I should select.

Thanks & Regards from Germany
