Well I thought I should have a recovery utility just incase my SSD craps out. I had to repair the disk yesterday using the install CD because disk utility found errors. Any good utilitiy programs I should get? Techtools pro installed fine on my macbook, just that it doesnt' work on DVD for some reason.
For some reason I'm still worried about SSD reliability and OSX's lack of TRIM support since mine isn't a Sandforce SSD. I idled my macbook in win7 yesterday for about one hour, and the before and after benchmarks showed a definitey improvement. Not too sure if that also TRIMs the mac partition though, but benching in OSX got me write and read speeds close to new. Are my fears and paranoia justified?
Also, you're running an SSD and HD in the caddy right? How has that affected battery life? I'm thinking of doing that to keep a fully functional backup with me all the time.
