http://www.mac-backup-drives.com - MacGizmoGuy upgrades a Buffalo miniStation USB 3.0 and ThunderBolt combo interface hard drive to a solid-state flash memory drive for better Apple TimeMachine and OSX drive cloning performance. • • The take apart of a Buffalo miniStation drive enclosure is easy once you struggle to PRY the disk drive mechanism away from the double-faced tape. Easily bendable plastic latches and only six screws hold the HDD assembly in place. • • The hard drive replacement is a Sandisk Extreme SATA III SSD which, thanks to it's SandForce controller chipset, is one of the top-performing solid-state drives in 2012 - a good match for either the miniStation's SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port - and even moreso for the miniStation's 10Gbps Intel-Apple ThunderBolt port. • • http://www.thunderbolt-hard-drive.com • http://www.ssd-for-mac.com • • Even the fastest mechanical hard drives are bottle-necked on a USB 3.0 or Apple ThunderBolt port - so a SSD instantly improves file copying and Mac backup drive performance significantly. Without getting into geeky benchmark numbers - backing up my SuperSpeed 2012 MacBook Air data takes almost exactly 1 hour over USB 3.0 - with the SandDisk SSD USB 3 times were reduced to 35 minutes, and using the ThunderBolt interface, just under 20 minutes. So easily one-third the time with the SSD - ThunderBolt upgrade. Somewhat surprisingly, an Apple TimeMachine backup using USB 3.0 wasn't nearly as fast as I expected it would be but still a major time-saver in half the time. • • Russel Baer aka MacGizmoGuy • http://www.macgizmoguy.com
