Hi,
The title says it all really. I'm going to buy the new iMac 27'', but was very disappointed with the lack of storage options. I would like to use bootcamp, and have a seperate partion for Windows 7 and gaming. Because I'm forced by Apple to buy the fusion drive, this is unfortunately not going to work.
Can I install Windows 7 on an external thunderbolt SSD, and run Windows 7 and my games from there? If so, will this an external SSD impact performance in gaming in anyway? I'm thinking of getting this model: LaCie Rugged 120GB SSD
It would be great to hear from someone who has attempted this, or is familiar with bootcamp.
Thanks!
