[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1529164, member: 38864"] I did the Data Doubler on my 2010 iMac last year and yes... WOW WOW WOW! I'll never go back to HDD-only configs. A word about your mobile backups... those are the backup files for your iDevices. What I did to manage this was create a partition on my HDD called "User Data" and made subfolders for each user account. Then I moved select folders that took up a lot of space (iTunes media folders and mobile sync, for example) to the HDD partition and created symbolic links to them. That way, iTunes and everything else thinks they are still in their proper places on the SSD but I'm not wasting valuable space for files that aren't frequently accessed. [/QUOTE]
