My sister's macbook harddrive is not working well at all (she drops the laptop frequently). This is a macbook white body (circa January 2007?). Anyhow, I'm thinking she's the perfect candidate for a small 30 gig SSD so she can continue to drop her computer and not have data loss etc.

What SSD will work in this macbook before I order one and take the MB apart and realize that it doesn't work. I've seen "mac edition" SSDS - is this necessary?

We're looking at something like $130-$150 for a basic 30 gig SSD.

Thanks guys.
 
No need for "Mac Edition" SSDs, IMO. If it has the proper connectors, then it should work. (In this case, SATA).

You want to stay with either Intel drives (expensive) or drives with the Indilinx controller. Part of me thinks the Agility is the way to go.
 
are you sure 30 gigs is enough? if your sister listens to music, watches movies etc. that 30 will disappear like nothing.

i've heard good things about the vertex ocz ssd's. any ssd should technically work (since all ssd's are sata as are intel apple machines)


also, an ssd won't protect the rest of her computer from kicking the bucket if she doesn't learn how to properly take care of it. maybe educate her on simple do's and don't's.
