Hi, I created succesfuly DIY FD using internal 1TB HDD and external LaCie TB 120GB Rugged SSD (I know external storage is not officialy supported). Using OS 10.9, FD created on same version.
Everything is fine and running (recovery hd and bootcamp partitions stayed untouched, complete recovery of TM backup 450GB).
System is lot faster - booting with 5 desktops and lot apps under 30 s, Adobe LR, PS around 5s.
I have only one problem with results of Blackmagic benchmark - write is inbetween 50-100 MB/s and read inbetween 200-380 MB/s. Quite a bit span in results, sometimes faster sometimes slower (once I measured write 270 MB/s). What I am concerned about are write speed, because when I copy 2 GB file on FD it shows on SSD 200 MB/s and more using iostat.
Dont know if it is just problem with my benchmark or FD is really slow, what does not seem regarding the practical use experience.
Thanks for answer and your opinion&experince!
