hello

I have a SSD mounted using the Apricorn solo X2. It works good but I can not tell the diference between the second SSD that I have mounted under the optical Bay as far as speed. Both are the Samsung Pro 256GB and 512GB.
My Mac Pro is 5.1. 32GB, GTZ 680 Mac Version.
The Apricorn is on Slot 2, USB3 Card Slot 3 and Video Card on Slot1.
My Question is. If I remove the SSD drive from the Apricorn card and install a 2.5 2TB just for video rendering and use the optical bay as my boot would that be better?
Also, Is a Seagate 2.5 5400 rpm mounted on the Apricorn Solo X2 faster than a 3TB 7200Rpm on the regular Sata 2 bay for video editing?
I also noticed that when I boot from the SSD on the PCI, the computer runs a bit warmer, is it normal?

Best regards to all
