Hello,
I just got my 256 SSD and I'm waiting for the MCE Optibay.
I will use my secod disk for storage but I also want to have Win7 in Bootcamp and I'm not sure what is the best way to partition. Here is are the possibilities I thought about:
Option 1:
SSD: 2 boot partitions. One for OSX one for Win
HDD: 1 NFS Partitions for Windows storage, 1 HFS partition for OSX storage
good: both OS will have the SSD speed
bad: when I'm in OSX, both disks will be mounted hence more power consumption. Less space on for both OSs.
Option 2:
SSD: 1 boot partitions just for OSX
HDD: 1 boot partitions for Windows
good: I could unmount the HDD when I'm in OSX -> more battery
bad: Win7 will not use the SSD. I will use the entire 500GB for Windows which I anyway don't use that often.
Any advices ?
Thanks,
Tex
