i have mid 2011 mac mini 2.7 ghz i7, 8gb of ram , stock 5400-rpm 500gb hard drive. i've been contemplating adding 60gb owc 6g ssd in other available slot , running dual drives internally, booting ssd. here's scoop: because i'd purchase smaller ssd (due price), vast amount of data remain on 500gb drive, including entire photography library, itunes media library, , games enormous in size. basic system of lion , applications folder (minus games) reside on ssd, while applications subsequent data on 500gb drive re-directed 500gb necessary.
question this: ssd still worth it? boot times faster, along application launch times, because vast amount data resides on second drive, how of benefit there really? think it's worth moving ssd based on above scenerio? (i.e; launching itunes, has pull data 500gb drive anyhow.)
a ssd biggest improvement can possibly make computer. hd bottle neck , ssd removes that.
under circumstances. no. need bigger drive. have 256 oem drive apple installed self. don't want hd in machine @ all. why have hd in there increase heat , noise? thunderbolt internal hd redundant. advice return ssd , save bigger one. sata 2 ssd @ least. can 120gb or 256gb cheap.
these better $450 $550 apple charges. natively support trim. reliable , doesn't void warranty.
