Title wasn't clear enough. I installed it using a PCI Express card, so it's not on the SATA buss. Supposed to be faster that way, and it was. Will look back for the disk speed results, but it was significantly faster.
Hmm, maybe if will mount another SSD on the sata buss for a direct comparison if anyone is interested.
It works great using the Option key on restart but I know there will be days I forget to do that and it will screw some project up royally. Hmmm, maybe store everything in the cloud that I'm working on, maybe will prevent that.
