[QUOTE="JUKE179r, post: 998236, member: 129964"] The EC SSD cards overheat. I think bad outweighs the good in trying to accomplish this: [U][B]PRO's[/B][/U] [LIST] [*]very fast boot of OS X [*]very fast read speeds [*]inserted flush in EC slot [*]no noise [/LIST] [U][B]CON's[/B][/U] [LIST] [*]booting from SSD in EC slot is allowed only on cetain Mac's [*]depending on certain models, write times are almost = to internal SATA HD write times [*]overheats [*]pricey for the amount of GB's that are on the market now [*]application freeze (spinning ball) [*]depending on certain models, dies after awhile [/LIST] Some more info on doing this: [url=http://www.macworld.com/article/145185/2009/12/mbpssdcard.html]Add an ExpressCard solid state drive to some MacBook Pros | Storage - Page 1 | Macworld[/url] [/QUOTE]
