256 is fine for OS but a properly partitioned 480 is great for OS + cache. I put one in a MacPro 3,1 that made a huge performance difference; so I put another in a 12-core 5,1 that is thrillingly fast. Robert W.

One is running 10.8.5 and the other 10.6.5. I'm thinking it's safe to abandon 10.6 now, and commit to 10.8 on a RAID. I expect it would speed things up for no cost, as opposed to $440 for a 480G SSD. > > > > But, that's only if it's safe to run a boot disk off a software controlled RAID 0, which was the point of my OP. > > > > > > > > > > > > On Sep 15, 2013, at 2:23 PM, Dan Spiess <dspiess@lighthousetv.com> wrote: > > > >> I would buy a SSD drive instead.
