Hi,
I bought an UltraPlus-128GB and replaced Hard Disk in my MAC-book Pro. After install,
The device is detected in “Disk Utility”, but i am unable to format / Partition the disk.
Error : “POSIX reports:The operation couldn’t be completed. Cannot allocate memory.”
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010)
OS version :10.6.8 (Snow leopard)
Model Identifier: MacBookPro7,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz

Advice me, am i need to do upgrade any firmware before install and use this in MAC ? if yes, advice me how to do that ?
Please help me…

open system information and go to Serial ATA. it will show what SATA chipset you have. If it has the Nvidia MCP79 SATA chipset that is likely the issue. The MCP79 SATA chipset has a ton os issues with SSDs
Hi,
It is not…
NVidia MCP89 AHCI:
Vendor: NVidia
Product: MCP89 AHCI
Link Speed: 3 Gigabit
Negotiated Link Speed: 1.5 Gigabit
Description: AHCI Version 1.30 Supported
Any sugesstions ?

do you have an external enclosure or a different system to test the disk in. If you see similar issues on other devices the SSD would need to be replaced. MCP89 is the same family IIRC so it may have similar issues as the 79.
Hi,
Your suggestion works… I use a desktop to format and install linux in the SSD sucessfully. Concluded it is not SSD issue.
Then , put back to MAC and try again… It works now :smileyvery-happy:
Loooks it is a good work-around.
