Review on πŸ’Ύ High-Performance Intel 40GB X25-V MLC Solid-State Drive - Retail Box SSDSA2MP040G2R5 by Conrad Greene

This 40GB Intel SSD is great for MacBook Pro 13

I installed this 40GB Intel SSD on my MacBook Pro 13. It works like a charm. Boot times are pretty fast (much faster compared to my Hitachi OEM hard drive). Let me show you how to install this SSD drive on your Macbook Pro. First, open Timemachines and back up everything on your Mac to a separate external hard drive. Then turn off your MacBook Pro. Unscrew the back cover and replace the hard drive with this Intel SSD 40GB. Then unscrew the lid. Now turn on your Macbook Pro and boot into the OS disk (erase Intel SSD 40GB to hfs format). Use utilities to restore everything to your MacBook Pro. After about 15 minutes ==> you have your Intel SSD and it's ready to use (ha ha ha). The benefit of this 40GB Intel SSD drive is that you get long battery life (10-12 hours surfing the web and up to 14 hours presenting with PowerPoint). "You set the display brightness to (dash 3)." I noticed that when you open an application like Word, Excel, or even a browser, your MacBook Pro responds immediately (no waiting). I am very happy with my purchases.
