Sata Hard Drive Slots For Mac Pro (early 2008)
Hi All- I've been tempted by current prices to finally upgrade my hard drive on my late 2008, Macbook Pro (4.1, pre-unibody). And upgrade my OS (Snow Leopard to Yosemite). The hard drive in my Macbook pro has a Sata I connection and I am wondering what my best SSD options are in 2014. I am most concerned about issues of potential backward compatibility of Sata III with SataI. I understand Sata III should be be backward compatible with Sata I but I've seen that some people have had issues with this. So I am wondering if anyone has actually made this upgrade with some of these newer SSD drives available (Samsung 840 Evo, SanDisk Extreme Pro, Crucial m550) and how it has worked out.

I am also curious about whether I should look for older Sata II SSDs? For this I would need recommendations. Given current prices, I am leaning towards a more current drive with all it's modern goodness (longevity+controller) with the understanding that my Sata I connection will be a bottleneck. Thank you very much in advance. And if there is anything I've failed to consider, feel free to let me know.

SATA-III is designed to be backwards compatible with SATA-II and SATA-I so you shouldn't have any issues there. When considering performance don't be mislead by the top end figures. It's easy to look at SSD's claiming 500MB/s read/write then realise your SATA-I interface only supports 187.5 MB/s (1.5Gb/s). What makes SSD's stand out is their performance for random reads/writes (because OS's are heavily reliant on random read/write actions). If you look at benchmarks for 4K random read and write 7200RPM hard drives will rarely surpass 3-4MB/s transfer speed. Meanwhile a decent SSD will reach from 40-60MB/s. That's a big improvement and it's also well within the limits of your SATA-I interface.

Palorim12 I've seen these issues with Yosemite and failure to support TRIM for 3rd party SSDs. But I've also seen the TRIM is not absolutely necessary for newer SSDs. Case in point, OWC, which specializes in Mac components, doesn't recommend activating TRIM in the OS. My understanding is that newer SSDs can handle the lack of TRIM through their own built in controller (commands?) I'm no expert on this, so if I am wrong let me know. This is also why I am hoping someone can give me an definitive recommendation based on their real world experience.

There's alot of things ppl don't understand about TRIM and Garbage Collection. I've seen many SSDs slow down immensely and speed back up once TRIM was enabled on the Mac. Amazing Garbage Collection alone isn't enough. It'll extend the life a bit, but the thing is TRIM and GC are codependent. They do two separate jobs that affect eachother.
When the OS “deletes” data, the data does not actually go anywhere. The space in which it resides is simply marked as “free space” that may be used later.
