FYI love my SSD for System drive
I just installed an OWC 120 gig SSD drive on my 2nd optical bay with the System, very fast for restarts after crashes and very snappy for any other application opening, didn't sacrifice any of my drive bays... love it

Re: FYI love my SSD for System drive
curious - where did you keep your home folder? i heard it was best to keep it elsewhere then have an alias to not be writing to the SSD all the time.
i wanted to try this w/ my owc ssd but wasnt sure if pointing osx to a different homefolder on a different drive would mess up pt9. thanks!

Re: FYI love my SSD for System drive
There isn't much reason to keep your home folder off the SSD, really. Yes, SSD's suffer from block rewrite penalties, even with the systems put in place in newer drives, but that will cause noticeable issues mainly on massive uninterrupted write operations, not the day-to-day document swapping and property-updating that normally occurs in the home folder. The drive's block reallocation systems will have loads of time to do their thing and you'll probably never notice a slowdown.
Unless you record audio or digitize video to your home folder (which you shouldn't be anyways), you can keep it on the SSD so all your file operations are infused with the essence of speed. IHTH |

Re: FYI love my SSD for System drive
I got the crucial 256 CT300 and it has active garbage clean up. Which is like TRIM but their version. I think everyone one is being to sensitive to the SSD drives stability.... I talked to Crucial and things have improved a lot. I have my Home folder on my drive and it seems fine...

Re: FYI love my SSD for System drive
I tried SSD land, too.
My Corsair CSSD-F120GB2 has similar read/write speeds: OWC: write-263Mb/s, read-271Mb/s Corsair: write-256Mb/s, read-265Mb/s I have no faster system starts or Pro Tools launch!! 10.5.8 on an USB drive takes exact the same time to boot:35sec PT 8.03: 45sec 10.6.5 on internal SDD: System: 35 sec, Pro Tools 45sec! Somehow disappointing… Only exeption: PlugIns inside Pro Tools open much faster in PT9/10.6.5/SSD. No idea if the reason for this is the ssd/OS/PT version.

Re: FYI love my SSD for System drive
Yes that is true but the SSD life expectance is still longer than a Platter Drive

All testing I've ever seen is based on "normal" use. Which is not a recording environment. Cost vs. performance, I'm still not convinced. I'm gonna give it another year or so, probably.

Re: FYI love my SSD for System drive
To be honest I just got bored with my computer being so fast and still having a drive spinning at 7200. It wasn't a cost based analisist?
