Hi Everyone
I have an early '11 17" Unibody with an optibay caddy. I am a photographer and my main activity is Lightroom, and I am looking for the best compromise of speed & storage. My Home folder is 500Gb without any of my work; I use the optibay to store my Lightroom images.
Current setup;
HD Bay: SATA3 Seagate Momentus 750Gb Hybrid; System, Apps, Home folder
Optibay: SATA2 Hitachi 500GB 7200rpm; Lightroom images
considering;
HD Bay: SATA3 Samsung 830 128Gb SSD; System, Apps
Optibay: SATA2 Samsung 1Tb 5400rpm; partition 1 600Gb Home folder, partition 2 400Gb Lightroom images
PS. Lightroom speed seems to be mostly limited by processing power, rather than read/write speeds
many thanks for any thoughts
