Q: Anyone know the difference between the Crucial MX & BX series?

The BX is a stripped-down version of the MX - it's got a different (slower) controller chip, is lacking MX's data encruption feature, and doesn't have the MX's SLC (single level cell) caching, so it's not as quick or durable as the MX. SSD NAND Flash bit cells have a wite/erase cycle lifespan, usually rated in "TB" (trillions of cycles). SLC caching allows bits to be written one at a time into cahce before the entire block is updated, vs. the BX's MLC only, where the entire block (of typically 4k) is re-written every time any data in the block changes. The BX series also does not come with the drive-cloning/backup software. However, there are some good free cloning/backup apps out there so it's not a deal killer. I have the BX 500GB SSD and I'm very happy with it. I cloned my 500GB HDD with a freebie app... Boot-up, shut down, and app loads are MUCH faster (in Windows 7) than with the mechanical HDD. =)

Q: What else do I need to install this SSD for my 2010 13" Mac Pro? Any hardware needs to be replace or change? cables or bracket? Thanks a lot

I agree with C. Parker. The OWC SSD's are designed for Macs and also have built in Over-Provisioning. I just installed an OWC 3G 120GB SSD in a MacBook 5.1 Unibody Late 2008 and the process was very easy and no need to change any settings as one reviewer on this Crucial SSD indicated as being required. I would advise you to review these two links, they were really helpful for me. http://arstechnica.com/apple/2011/08/how-to-speed-up-an-aging-macbook-with-a-solid-state-drive/1/http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWCAll of the 3G and 6G SSDs from OWC can be purchased through Amazon.
