I was going to pick up a 128GB SSD for my 8-core 2.8GHz Mac Pro. I use it mainly for gaming via BootCamp, and I'm trying to remove bottlenecks without blowing $500-600 on a new GPU. I just bumped my RAM from 2GB to 6GB, and I thought SSD would be the next logical step after posting on these forums last month.
That said, would I see a big difference going with a 120/128GB SSD (I'm looking at a Crucial M4, a Corsair Neutron/Neutron GTX, Samsung 840, or Intel SSD520 or 340), as opposed to a 150-250GB WD VelociRaptor?
I would be partitioning it as a 70/30 split BootCamp/10.7, so I'm not sure if I'm better off taking the larger capacity 10K HDD and having more of my apps/games on the same disk (although I would likely create a separate Win7 Partition for games/apps/data to keep the boot partition clean).
Thoughts?
Thanks!!
