Hi folks.
I have recently noticed Officeworks advertising Samsung SSD 500GB for $98.00.
And more recently WD SSD 500GB for $79.00.
So just a cautionary note.
Upon investigation I found that they are probably older models.
The transfer speed for the advertised WD SSD is 400 mb/s whilst the

Yeah power usage is one of the huge advantages that SSD holds over traditional
drives. At the moment I feel that SSD can only be justified for a laptop and
that's one of the big reasons. I don't think you'd want to use an SSD to do
alot of eyetv recording though since they are limited
for the 2x500 dual

My main backup is handled by the two-pronged clone/time machine approach.

So, as suggested before go into Disk Utility, delete partitions, then
recreate a partition or more if needed, then format using relevant
file system.
In options there are choices for the beginning of said drive this is

Tony.
