Upgrading a Mac with an SSD
I've finally got round to buying an SSD for my Mac. I've done a load of research online to make sure it's compatible (SATA3 disk on a SATA2 port) and works in my particular Mac. On top of it working at a basic level, is there anything else I need to do to make OS X play nice with an SSD? Does it support TRIM and all of that stuff OK, or do I need to worry about filling it up?
I'm new to the SSD thing and haven't really kept up to date with the state of the art in storage for a while now, so excuse the newbieness  It's OS X Lion if that helps. Cheers!

Afaik, Lion does TRIM automatically on ssds, but I'll poke around on the wife's MBA & see what I see.

Why is it disabled for 3rd party? Is this the usual Apple wants to charge you 3 times as much "genuine" that they've done since forever?

Thanks for the link, Pressure! I should finally get the missing screwdriver I need to have a go at the upgrade today, so I'll post. Knowing me I'll put the LCD back in upside down and my cats will leave footprints all over the interior of the glass.
