Used as boot and data drive RIG = ASUS P8Z68-VPro w/2700k CPU, 16G. Like the speed, have a Alien laptop with non-Pro and access is noticeably faster. Need to tweak new install settings but base install is decent.

I have a mid-2010 MacBook Pro and was tired of the sluggish performance. Just as I was about to shell out for a new laptop I thought I would give the Samsung 840 PRO a try. Easy to install. Unbelievable improvement. Seems faster now than my Mac Pro tower... which I am getting a Samsung SSD for soon! I have seen the light!

Been waiting to get an SSD for my 2008 Mac Pro for a little while. After some research I settled on the Samsung 840 Pro series 512GB drive. Installed it in my Mac as soon as I received it and restored my backup to it. My Mac Pro is like a new machine! Its never booted so fast or launched applications so fast. Would highly recommend this drive!
