Thanks in advance! I want to upgrade my mac mini late 2009 with a SSD since my HD is beginning having problems booting.

Thanks in advance! You're wasting your money on the Samsung SSDs when they're only going to run at half their speed on SATA 6Gb/s. There's a range of 6Gb/s SSDs from Toshiba with almost equal MB/s for both read/write (which far exceed the maximum you'll get on SATA 3Gb/s) and 85,000 IOPS read/35,000 IOPS write. Also they're £10 cheaper (£60 vs £70) and offer 128Gb, not 120 like the evos. 2 of those in a RAID 0 is what I'm aiming for my own 2009 Mac Mini eventually. I already have a sizable external drive with my media library on and as any future Mac will likely have a 256Gb Flash drive, I'm prepared for a simple switch over when that time comes. (The prices on both keep fluctuating, it's £62 vs £70 today, it was £60 vs over £70 this time last week). Just put a crucial M500 960 in my 2010. A little more space than I need but the noise and lack of space were really driving me nuts. If you can coordinate the OS upgrade at the same time, all the better. 1) Pick up a USB/sata adapter to connect it to the mini, 2) install mavericks on the new drive, 3) migrate over your data, 4) boot up to test things out, 5) swap drives*, 6) install the latest apps, 7) update everything, and 8) repair permisisons * during the install, do not pull the little mobo connectors sideways, up only. ![]() From what I have seen and read when researching SSDs for use in a 2009 MBP, it seems that some, if not all, Sandforce based 6 Gbs (SATA III) SSD controllers have difficulty with the NVidia SATA controllers on the 2009 Macs, and revert to SATA I speeds. Check the Mini's System Information listing, SATA to find out which controller you have in the 2009 Mini (it will be the NVidia, just want you to confirm that). I know SanDisk put out a special firmware for Macs for their Ultra drives that lock it to SATA II speeds to get over the SATA I (1.5 GBs) issue. There may have been others, I don't know. If that is the case, I would say to avoid finding out the hard way which Sandforce controlled SATA III SSD's have difficulty with the NVidia controller, avoid SSDs using the Sandforce 2281 controller. There are many alternatives that use the Marvell or other controller that work fine at SATA II speeds. I personally used a Crucial M4 in the MBP I mentioned before, no issue, works fine at SATA II speed. Also, Samsung 840 worked without issue. There are many others that do not use Sandforce controllers also, do the research! This difficulty does not appear to affect later Macs that use the Intel controller. Thanks for your advices! I have decided to buy a 250 GB Samsung 840 EVO which hopefully should be delivered tomorrow. Bobtennis - you're right that my Mac Mini has got the NVidia controller. The SSD I ordered has a Samsung MEX controller. According to the comments in this thread these controllers should work fine together. In another thread I found that Crucial m4 would work fine but this appeared to be sold out at shops near me. I will post a reply when I got my new SSD installed. And in the meantime I will have a look at OWC's video guide. Problem with Samsung EVO 250 Hi, Unfortunately I have problems with my MacMini Late 2009 (with controller NVidia MCP79 AHCI) + a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB. The downgrade to SATA1 seems appears in my mac, because the speed is 3Gb, but the negotiated speed is 1.5Gb. Free online games for mac no download required.
