Good tip, and welcome to the club of happy SSD campersIf 64GB seems too small, just keep all your "stabs" (rapidly-triggered) clips on the SSD and longer stuff on another drive. Sometimes it's good to have storage limits, as it makes you more selective with your material.
I am upgrading my late 2008 MBP as I noticed my current hard drive is dying and I need better performance from my laptop when VJing, so to replace my Hitachi 5400 rpm 320 Gb I have just ordered a 'WD Scorpio Black 7200rpm 320 GB' for my system and using Opticbay I will replace my DVD drive with a 'SSD Vertex 2 120GB' to keep my video files for VJing,the_psychologist wrote: I used it last night for the first time with all my clips on the SSD and Win 7 and all apps running on a 7200RPM HD.
