WD announced the WDMET10000TN recently but initially it will only be available in a USB 2.0 enclosure. Of course, it displaces the SuperDrive but Plextor's PX-610U is a plug-and-play external USB 2.0 bus powered DVD/RW optical drive that works very well on all Macs.

Some pro users are putting dual SSDs inside their MacBook Pro using the optical bay mounting kit from MaxUpgrades.

If you connect to the eSATA port using Sonnet's ExpressCard, you can use the optional CalDigit power supply or pull power off the FW800 port. It can run off bus power if you use the FW800 port.

CalDigit makes the VR mini which is a dual notebook RAID enclosure.

It works well with Sonnet's Fusion F2 and F3 enclosures.

Sonnet Technology makes the Tempo SATA Pro ExpressCard/34 adapter, the fastest we've ever tested and the only "true" SATA adapter for the MacBook Pro.

Plus we will include After Effects, Compressor and Aperture benchmarks in the next article.įinally, we wonder if the 9600M GT is clocked higher on the 17" than on the 15" MBP. Next we will install 8GB of RAM in the 17" MacBook Pro along with a 250G SSD to see how those upgrades affect performance. We just getting warmed up on a series of test scenarios. What do you get for $200? You get the ExpressCard/34 slot, larger LCD (1920x1200) screen, and extra USB port. The 17" is only $200 more than a comparably configured 15" model. In artificial benchmarks, the advantage was as high as 26%. The performance advantage for CPU intensive real world apps varied from 6% to 17%. But if you are running insane apps like Cinema 4D, After Effects, or Compressor, then you should consider keeping your Mac Pro and letting a MacBook Pro be your other Mac.Īs for comparing the 2.8GHz MBP to the 3.06GHz, the latter has a 9% faster core frequency for 12% gain in price.

If your work environment does not utilize all cores and more than 8G of RAM, the 17" MacBook Pro will do a decent job as a substitute for the Mac Pro - especially if desk real estate is scarce and portability is wanted.
