I installed an Extreme II without issue & despite my fears* the SATA II controller (MCP79) didn’t handshake to 1.5G, it’s connected at 3G & so far I’m noticing a big difference.
Can anyone recommend some excellent SSD analysis/diagnostic sw for OSX & Windows (I’ll be installing the latter on the same machine soon)?
Once Windows is installed I’ll install the drive’s management software, which looks quite interesting…
Cheers!
*& contrary to Sandisk’s claims
[QUOTE]I know that, I mean overkill in the sense that I’ll very rarely notice a difference between this premium drive & much cheaper ones, especially at 1.5G.
N.B. IIRC the Extreme isn’t as small as the Extreme II…[/QUOTE]
My concerns here turned out to be unfounded too…
With the spacer, the anti-static pads/stickers*, & thermo sensor (repositioned slightly -not sure if it was the best spot), it was a very snug fit!
*which in hindsight I prolly didn’t need to put onto the SSD after removing them from the HDD
