I also have an additional 3tb HDD that lives in a case on the shelf. It is only used for storage and manual backups, so it doesn't need to be fast. There is a 3tb external HDD attached to the Mini with FireWire 800 that is shared on my network. I have a Mac Mini running Server that has two 500gb HDD inside, one for the system and one for Time Machine backups. The internal drive on my laptop (2010 mbp) is a 240gb SSD. My setup at home is a little complex because IT is my day job. When you use an external SSD for boot and documents, what you make of the internal drive?Īh sorry probably wasn't clear. However I plan to reinstall the system plain to a new SSD and then clone back the Internal drive to SSD with superduper smart update. So a complete reinstall from scratch would help. My Internal disk drive due to combo updates has the system scattered around and not close to the fastest zone (beginning of disk). I have investigated it and it seems that modern browsers rely on disk cache more than ram. I have noticed the beach ball on web sites too recently. i would hate to use a backup that places this issue onto a new SSD. i'm interested in resetting everything back to factory defaults at this point. It doesn't happen often, but it's very annoying when it does. i've tried all the usual verify permissions and repair disk options and such, also reset Safari and Firefox, and just when i think it's back to normal and start to forget about it, i randomly find it stuck drooling and barely capable of coming out of hibernation with a full screen backdrop of said website being the first thing that comes up after a minute or two of beach ball on black. the site was amazing then, haven't viewed it since. then it gets hung and in full screen from a website that i found interesting about 3 years ago. Here's a great kit with all the necessary tools. Hacktheplanet wrote:The SSD upgrade will change your life. They play a lot on the Thunderbolt Interface which according to intel costs 15$ and often they offer no cable. The Thunderbolt SSD drives are very expensive. When SSD's get in the same price range as conventional harddisks and offer better longetivity, I might switch to SSD completely one day. But I am looking into a second SSD in the future to move my files onto, that are only used for reads, like VST plugin Libraries, etc. I only use an SSD for my OS disk on my PC and use fast conventional harddisks for the rest. Just a waste of money to use expensive SSD for stuff like backups.įor those kind of tasks it's better to use a good quality conventional 3,5" harddisk. You can burn them out within 1-2 years.Ĭan become very expensive. SSD's have a very short life span if you use it for continuous backups and lots of write activities.
