Idea is sound and there are good expresscard SSDs (Panasonic for video). They are really, really damn fast; but they cost a ton!

not true...dont listen to these guys...


i too have a filemate with 120mb read / 80 writes

and its very very fast, i run vm's from it with ease.
 
sigh... did you read the bit that says 18MB/sec (read) and 8MB/sec (write)? Probably no...

It was a good question, if you clicked the link and read it, sigh....Probably no...;)
Click on it now, and you'll notice read speeds of 115MB/s and write speeds of 65MB/s.

Now, lets forget that. Would it improve performance?
Thanks:)

Sounds good, is it an improvement on the 7200rpm apple Hard Drive?
Thanks
