Input: I bought this for my early 2011 macbook pro and mid 2009 mbp and it works great but there are some steps to getting the drive up to date and working.<br />**UPDATE** works great with Mountain Lion 10.8<br /><br />Here are some instructions on what to do for people who want to know about making this drive work with the mbp.<br /><br />0. Backup all data you want from your old drive because you wont have it anymore after you remove it<br />1. take out old drive and replace with your new SSD (look for youtube videos on how to do this)<br />2. power on the laptop while holding the \"option\" key<br />3. connect the the internet and choose internet recovery<br />4. when you get into the install screen open disk utilities and select the drive<br />5. create a new (1 partition) and format your new drive as Mac OS Journaled<br />6. close disk utility and install Lion onto the drive<br /><br />ok great now your drive is working and the OS is installed, but the drive is NOT updated to the latest firmware (helps to drive work at its best)<br />(just a warning this is more advanced)<br /><br />7. goto OCZ's website for the latest vertex 4 firmware (please read all their instructions on how to update, below is my self-experienced abridged version)<br />8. download their OCZ Tools utility and burn it to a disk (dvd or CD, i used toast to do this but you can use disk utility also-> for help google \"burn iso image osx\")<br />9. restart computer holding option key again and choose to boot from the disk<br />10. wait for computer to reboot, your touchpad and Wifi wont work... so you need to plug in a USB mouse and connect via ethernet (MUST have net for this to work)<br />11. click the mac update tool on the bottom bar<br />12. make sure it is asking to update the vertex 4 (will say y/n)<br />13. say yes to setting to AHCI and do a normal update<br />14. after it is done it will ask you to press \"S\" and repeat the process 1 time as of 6/26/12 (start back @ step 9)<br />15. if everything is updated and everything is clear on being completed, shutdown the tool and restart the computer normally<br />16. YOU DID IT!!! easy right? enjoy instant loads and a now much cooler (temp.) and nearly silent laptop<br /><br />The product itself is a 5 star product, just the installing and updating is not easy for a casual user hence the -1 starng is updated and everything is clear on being completed, shutdown the tool and restart the computer normally<br />16. YOU DID IT!!! easy right? enjoy instant loads and a now much cooler (temp.) and nearly silent laptop<br /><br />The product itself is a 5 star product, just the installing and updating is not easy for a casual user hence the -1 star
Output:
Great for macbook pro w/Lion and ML!
