[QUOTE="reed t, post: 1526745, member: 306884"] 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.... [/QUOTE]
