Any try it? I am thinking about picking up a used one, and if I do I want to put a SSD hard drive but I was curious what the connection speed between the hard drive and the motherboard is.
-
The speed is SATA 1.5, which is 150MBPS.

Ok would be useless, thanks.
-
Not necessarily, most mechanical hard drives have a write speed of about 30MBs, thats much lower than the 150MBPS limit. An SSD would write around(depends on SSD) at, at least 60MBPS. It would be much snappier with an SSD.
-
Mine writes at 160MBPS on my G50vt-x1 and read is 260MBPS, thing is though the main thing holding me off from this purchase is that ram is capped at 2GB. Not the 150MBPS SSD Speeds (I should have indicated that in the post).
I want to get something (a Mac) as a stop Gap solution till the Ivy Bridge Macbook Pro's come out because so far from what I gather Sandy Bridge does not have to much to offer (maybe even wait till Haswell comes out
) before I drop $2500, but right now I need a more portable laptop then my current Asus G50vt-x1.

I had an old Black Macbook that I had sold to my friend. He thought it was a bit slow and I sold him y older OCZ Vertex SSD. Was a night and day difference after the SSD was installed. It does make a very big difference.
SSD in Black Macbook?
