It may be working better with one single fast OS drive
and one or more additional external FW800 or Thunderbolt-drives with at least 7200rpm.

All the best, VRW



MacMini i7Quad, 16GB Ram, MBP Mid 2012 i5, 16GB Ram, MacOS 10.9.2, Apogee Quartet+Duet 2, Genelec Active, Yamaha NS10,
Pro Tools 11.1.2, Logic 10.0.6, Waves, MCDSP, Duende Native, Softube, HOFA, IK Multimedia etc
Yes, than! I saw the SSD option at the Apple store, but that might be too small. I would need at least 500GB, because I'll need a partition for Win7/BootCamp. Maybe a "regular/spinning" 7200 rpm drive.

Are the SSDs that large as yet? If they are, the price must be pretty HOT!
