SSD for System Drive, relocating home folder?

[RSSstudio]

anyone running snow lep. off an SSD drive and try relocating/redirecting their homefolder to another internal disk?


i throw stuff on my desktop a lot and really just want my desktop folder and music folder to be on another internal HDD. wasnt sure if going in to accounts and modifying where my homefolder was would mess up anything w pt9hd running ok.

heard something about symlink or some app to help w/ this process...anyone hear of that also?

thanks!

I would think you can install your OS to any internal drive. Don't move it, install it.

And yes, you don't want your audio folder on your home (boot) drive.

You can even put different versions of OS on different drives and tell your computer in preferences which startup disk to use.

I just made a download folder on my audio drive and have gotten used to using this instead of the desktop.

It won't take many days until you forget all about the desktop

I replaced the optical drive of my laptop with an SSD and run Pro Tools off of that. My home folder is on the other drive in my system, which is a 7200RPM 500GB. The only trick I know is that you go to System Preferences / Accounts, then Control-Click on the Account and select "Advanced Options..." From here you can tell it to access the home directory on a different volume.

I first duplicated my old start up drive using Carbon Copy Cloner. Now If I need to I can start up my computer, hold down option and start off the 7200RPM drive.
