Running Mountain Lion on lacie rugged 256gb SSD

[sam3020]

hello,

I have just received my lacie rugged 256gb thunderbolt ssd. I have installed mountain lion on it and wow the performance of this thing is amazing. I am running a base model 21.5" 2012 iMac and the difference in speed is superb. Anyone else taken the same approach?

Was thinking about getting one of these, possibly for running bootcamp. Good news based on your review 😀

Only problem i am currently having is it is taking absolutely ages to do a time machine back up to my usb portably hard drive

Get another Lacie TB SSD for Time Machine 😉

It seemed to sort itself out. Just took ages to start with. I wish i had that sort of money to buy another one lol

I would like to know this as well.

I might be wrong but I recall on top of my head that the boot time for the normal HDD is 30 secs, a huge improvement on my MBP currently booting in 1.30 mins...

Just tested out how long to boot. On the normal built in hard drive it took 1 minute and 8 seconds and booting off of the lacie rugged ssd took 21 seconds

Thanks mate, it looks like a really good improvement!
