27'' imac HDD+SSD question.

[bo-waleed]

i may get the 2TB HDD+ 256GB SSD.
which HD is OSX installed ?

what is the best way to get the best performance from the SSD ?
i do have about 200GB video files and 5GB sound files,where should i put these files ?




also what is the ''TRIM support'' that people talks about it ?
will it be enable at the first ? should i enable it ?

Everything is installed on the SSD. Worth moving user home directories to the second HD if you're working with that much data. If you do decide to do that, do it before you do *anything* else.

System, Library, and Applications on the SSD, Users Folder and all associated data on the Spinning Disk.

Performance is awesome.

so i have to move the 'users' folder to the HDD.right ?

but will i benefit from the SSD if i open itunes/iphoto and my music/photos on the HDD ?



what about bootcamp ? can i install win7 on the SSD ?
i will use win7 mainly for games. games need to be installed in the 'program files' folder.
will i benefit from SSD if i did that ?

thanks for answering.

Do you guys have a guide for moving the Users folder to a separate disk?

i don't think it's hard.

just drag it and move it to the other HD.

Update 10.6.8 brought TRIM support to Apple SSD's. It is on by default. As a matter of fact I don't think you can turn it off.
