Hey guys,
So I have a non-Unibody Macbook Pro 15" (2.2Ghz, 4GB RAM).
Recently, I had bought a 40 GB OWC SSD in an attempt to give some life to this laptop as it was even having hiccups playing 720p videos.
So, what I have done is I installed the SSD in place of hard drive and the 7200rpm in place of Superdrive. Since my MBP had an PATA Superdrive, I had bought a cheap one from eBay.
My question is, is it better to have the Library files on SSD or if it is okay to have it on the Harddrive? The SSD is so small that there is no way my Documents or Downloads folder can fit but the Library (with 10GB space) is able to (barely) fit in the SSD.
If the Library goes to the SSD, then I could just create a symlink for Documents and Downloads folder and be done with it and still have 2GB of free space left on that drive.
Any advice / recommendation?
Thanks for the help.
P.S: Are the speeds listed in the test below okay for my type of laptop or is it too slow?
