The main speed benefit of SSDs is not throughput, but random access speeds. That's what makes it feel so magically fast. SSD over FW800 still gives you that.

- orangecat 17y agoVery interesting. I've considered putting an SSD in my Mac mini, but opening them is a pain and I was under the vague impression that latency would suffer over Firewire. Glad to hear it works well, what enclosure are you using?
- n8agrin 17y agoI think I may give it a shot. Thanks for the feedback.
