Yes, and that's why I bought a Mac.
For many of us the ability to run OS X and widows on the same computer is very important.

As some users know,
i'm a big fan of the Lacie SSD solution.
For completeness and fairness of information, i want to add a piece of info i stumbled upon which is puzzling me.
I have two drives, both are the same Lacie 1tB SSD model.
So what, you might say...here we go: one is perfectly silent, the other one has the internal vent always on. Always. It doesn't matter whether there's activity or not, the vent is always on. The opposite goes for the other one: the vent is always off. I've tried all possible combinations, and clearly one of the two is not performing the way it's supposed to. I obviously prefer the 100% silent one, but if that means that being silent means it will cook, obviously this is one point in favor of the internal option. The noise is not particularly loud, but it's definitely there. Benchmarks and performance are exactly the same.
Lacie support is telling me the fan is supposed to be intelligent and not to be always on, which would make sense, but then again i've not yet managed to get the silent one to ever turn the fan on, which is making me doubt a lot and worry for its reliability (i copied files on it for one hour...it certainly went hot but fan never kicked in. Performance remained the same).
Will report on the evolution of this, and if anyone has similar experience its welcome to share its knowledge.
EDIT: will open a post for this so that we can separate the things.

yea i called them up, as long as isnt saying preparing for shipping on your status you can...It wasnt hard at all, except on my wallet. but im honestly glad i did, i was going back and forth, so i figured screw it just do it and dont regret it later...but yes call them asap when you make up your mind and get it done..He said it shouldnt effect the date at all, if it did it would be only by a day or so, so nothing major, you wont have to fully cancel and then reorder if thats what your worried aboutdid you call apple up and change it from what you had before? how easy was it and did it delay your order? i got fusion but thinking about changig to ssd
