Hi Everyone,

I am going to replace my HDD by SSD and place my HDD on Optibay. I am planing to do the following:
- SSD is used for OS X.
- HDD is divided into two partitions one for Bootcamp and one for my data (iPhoto library, iMovie library, and iTunes library).
- Use FV2 to encrypt both SSD and HDD

Here are my questions:
1- I read somewhere that FV2 can cause problem with Boot Camp. I currently have FV2 enabled and I did not notice any problem. Does FV2 cause problem in my intended setup?
2- I found that some people place their home directory on HDD. I am planning to keep it on SSD. I assume that I'll get more speed when I lunch apps such as DevonThink. Is that right? Are there benefits of placing home directory on HDD other than space?

Thanks
