I am looking to get the crucial mx100 512GB drive for my mac book pro. What are people's view of this drive?

Had one running in my home tower for a few months now. Very fast and no problems so far.

 

Windows 8.1 though!

Way before I read any of this I upgraded my MacBook Pro with a samsung 840 pro in and it works just fine. And has done so for a while now.

They didn't get to be one of the richest companies in the world by making it easier for you to upgrade rather than buy new kit!

Never been anything other than delighted with all my Apple products!

[nicholab]

Don't know if it is worth upgrading now.

Yeah. Third-party SSDs work fine with Yosemite despite sensationalist headlines to the contrary.

Enabling TRIM on third-party SSDs has never been officially supported by Apple. The only difference with Yosemite is you have to disable kext signing now in order for the patched .kext to work. The TRIM Enabler app does this for you automatically.

Of course you don't have to enable TRIM.

Another myth debunked. I did use Trim enabler way back when.

 

And the MBP with ssd flies. Love it!
