I have a Macbook Pro 2.26 Model 5.5
I intend to use this machine for HD video Editing
Adobe CS2 Premiere
I am considering replacing the 5400 160 internal HD with:
1.0TB 2.5" HGST Travelstar 7K1000 7200RPM SATA 2.0 3Gb/s 9.5mm Notebook Drive 32MB
and installing a second hard drive where the optical drive is:
OWC DIY Kit: Data Doubler + 240GB OWC Mercury Electra 3G
SSD Drive Bundle + 5 Piece Toolkit.
SSD will be system drive
Travelstar to be media drive.
This will cost about $400.00
The OWC salesperson I spoke with said I will get an enormous
boost in read and write speeds.
Questions:
Is this a good investment in terms of performance.
Is this the best configuration for the 2 hard discs?
Are these the best hard drives for my purposes?
Alternative configuration suggestions....
