→ How to use an SSD drive with your Mac

Friday, November 6 2009

jimray:

Use the super fast solid state drive as your boot/OS/application drive, move your home folder for all your pictures and mp3s and whatnot somewhere else. Nicely done.

I’m not sure I agree that moving your iTunes and iPhoto libraries to a second drive is so “fiddly”; that’s been my setup for years and I’ve never had problems. Moving the home folder seems way more brittle to me.

That said, SSD drives are the single greatest upgrade you can buy for your computer today. Seeing Photoshop launch on an SSD laptop will blow your mind.
