Just for anyone out there who was wondering if the comparatively "slow" Apple branded SSD is really as slow as people are making it out to be, i am currently compressing the move Inception, Its 11.73 Gb and its has taken me about 4 minutes so far and its about 70% done. Pretty nice imo! im going to compress another Blu Ray here in a second and ill post these results as well!
Got a tip for us?
