[QUOTE="Crestwood330, post: 1357149, member: 51667"] If I understand SSDs correctly, the applications you use the most will launch and perform the fastest over time and the others rarely used may boot up in a HDD similar timespan when accessed. In the MBP the CTO - Configure to Order only offers SSD or HDD, I have seen some people take out the Optical Drive, move the HDD to the Optical Drive Port (Sata 2) and install the SSD in the original HDD bay to take advantage of Sata 3 and put the optical drive in a case and connect it externally when needed. I rarely need an Optical Drive on a laptop these days, where the dual drive configuration would work. I would like to see where the Samsung 830 series 512 GB SSD 6Gbps fits into that performance test graph. I'm not in a rush to buy, I just want to build the best possible MBP I can while I have an opportunity to do so. Thanks for the links, Office and Google Earth is some of the normal use items I was looking to see run on SSD. [/QUOTE]
