Most Favorable Review

Where have you been all my life?

OCZ Agility 3 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) AGT3-25SAT3-120G
OCZ Agility 3 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) AGT3-25SAT3-120G

Pros: Absolutely amazing speed. Installed in my Early 2009 MacPro, running lion. Less than once bounce for each icon on the dock before starting.

Cons: Nothing so far

Overall Review: The Icy Dock that is offered in a bundle with this does not work in MacPros. The ssd can be mounted in the sleighs using only one screw, but will probably need a safer way to mount it

Pros: Lightscribe works as advertised, both in OSX and Windows

Cons: After about a year of light usage, motor went. Have to manually eject it now :(

Bought this by mistake - MacPro 2009

ICY DOCK MB990SP-B Dual Bay 2.5" to 3.5" SATA/IDE SSD & Hard Drive Bracket / Adapter, tool-less design for installation
ICY DOCK MB990SP-B Dual Bay 2.5" to 3.5" SATA/IDE SSD & Hard Drive Bracket / Adapter, tool-less design for installation

Pros: I'm sure this would be great in a PC

Cons: This adapter does not contain the "standard" screw holes on the of it, nor does it line up the sata connector in the same spot of a regular 3.5" drive (it centres it). A mistake on my part to buy this I suppose.

Early 2009 Mac Pro

Pros: Worked great in my Early 2009 mac pro. 1333MHz ram will work in this model, just at the lower bus speed

Cons: Maybe price?

Still working great

Pros: Installed and works perfectly with my early 2009 Mac Pro as a second disk drive. After installing Lacie Lightscribe software, the drive labels perfectly and reads disks perfectly

Cons: n/a

Overall Review: Haven't tried burning with it yet, but it does show up as a burner in disk utility so I assume it works.
