Hey all,
first post here, but not new to forums in general, i mostly frequent car forums.
Anyways, I'm getting a new macbook pro. Planning on getting the 15" 2.6ghz, 8gbs one. Also planning on getting it with the Anti-glare screen. Now i've been researching for a few months now and i'm still stuck on what drive setup i should get.
1) Buy it with the OEM 750gb HDD, then replace it with a 256 gb SSD (samsung 830)
(and put the oem hdd in my 13" MBP)
or
2) Buy it with the optional 750gb 7200 rpm, replace it with the 256 samsung SSD, and put the 750gb in a data doubler for it. (end up with 1tb of space)
or
3) Same as 1, but buy 2 samsung SSD and put them in a RAID-0 setup. (I'm liking this because of the speed, but hating it because of the price and i dont know if the performance is justified).
my favorite so far is number 3.
If you were in my place which setup would you go for?
and would i really notice a major difference between an SSD and a RAID-0 SSD?
Background:
Average user, planning on running windows 7/8 virtual machine, basic photoshop, final cut etc. and using a canon T3i maybe in RAW+jpeg.
