Folks installed an SSD along with Optibay and am looking to make best use of the much needed space but keen to do it in the right way. I have a 2011 MBP with SSD in the original bay (user installed) and an Optibay with a 750 Gb HDD in the optical bay. All running OSX Lion. I would be really keen for some informed advice please.
1. Should I go down the Aliases route for selected folders i.e. Video, Music & Pictures or move the entire Home Folder to the new Optibay which houses a 750 Gb drive?
2. In either instance does anybody know how Filevault 2 performs i.e. In the event of moving the Home User Folder to a drive outside the boot drive will that folder be encrypted? Whilst video and music on an aliases context is not important to me ( to need to protect) I need to protect other vital work documents etc that would reside in the same Home Folder.
Grateful for any advice.
