SSD 510 compatibility problems with Macbook Pro

[idata]

Hello,

it seems there is a compatibility problem between the Intel 510 Solid State Disks and the new (early 2011) Macbook Pro. A lot of people (including me) are experiencing problems with this SSD in their new Macbook Pros. See for example

To be fair, there seem to be similar problems with Crucials C300

The problem may be related to the SATA 3 mode utilized between the mentioned SSDs and the Intel Sandy Bridge SATA-Controller. I don't know and can't tell if Apple or Intel are responsible for these problems, but I think it is in the uttermost interest of Intel to resolve them (or make Apple resolve them). Otherwise Intel will have a hard time selling new SSDs to Apple owners...

The http://www.intel.com/support/ssdc/hpssd/sb/CS-029623.htm# 4 Intel SSD FAQ states:

All Intel Mainstream Solid-State Drives are tested and validated on the latest Intel-based notebook and desktop platforms.

I bought Intel for getting a reliable SSD for use in my Intel based notebook. Now it isn't working properly at all. I'm very disappointed.

regards,

Markus

I'm having issues on the early 2011 MacBook Pro as well, but with the Intel X25-M 160GB SSD.

I'm also having issues with the Intel X25-M 160 GB first generation in my new 2011 15" 2.0 Ghz MBP. It works fine, except when it goes to sleep, it's unresponsive for between 5 and 70 seconds when it wakes back up. I've had the geniuses at Apple (super nice people, BTW) look at it, but couldn't figure anything out.

Just for your information. I have similar problems with a Corsair Performance 3.

I've having the same issue. Intel 510 250Gb, Macbook pro 17 2.3 early 2011

I hope intel can contact apple and do something to resolve this issue
