The Samsung SSDs slid right into the drive bays with the AdaptaDrive converters and the Apple sleds. The boot drive cloned perfectly via Disk Utility, and it now boots from Shut Down almost as fast as it used to wake up from Sleep! DP projects load incredibly fast already.... when the Kontakt Samples are on the 2nd SSD (about 30 minutes from now), it should be breathtaking.

Lovin' it. Thanks for convincing me.

EDITED to add: Samples drive cloned. A DP project that used to take almost 3 minutes to fully load was ready to roll in about 15 seconds. Whoah!

Hello

If you use non Apple SSD you have to manually enable the TRIM function! ( And this after every OS update)

You can do it manualy, there was a nice website that discripres how. I can't find it at the moment. I'm not at my computer.

Or you can do it with free software.

Here some freeware to do it the easy way:
