Hi All,
Just installed a 750GB WD drive in my optibay, and am relived to see everything works great.
Presently everything is installed on my SSD. I want to keep my SSD for the OS and applications, and the 750GB drive for data.
I was originally going to do this by simply switching the user account location entirely to the HDD, using the Admin tools. I tested it out and everything worked fine.
However, I'm not sure if this is the right approach. I noticed the /Library folder in my user account, and am concerned it may be needed to run some programs, and hence slow down my applications.
What is best? Both from a performance and ease of use standpoint.
1) Move the entire user folder to the HDD.
2) Leave the user folder on the SSD, and create symbolic links for the media folders to the HDD.
Any advice is much appreciated!
