[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1340072, member: 83420"] I have a SSD and 1 TB HDD running Snow Leopard. As I understood things when I bought my 27 inch iMac, the SSD, being only 256 GB, is primarily for your Applications and OS. What I was advised to do — and it has proved very successful — is move your iTunes, iPhoto, Aperture libraries to your 2 TB HDD. NB just the library, not the application and NOT your home folder. Also move Documents to the HDD as this is, for most people, also large. The idea is that the SSD allows super fast OS and apps whilst preserving the (usually) large libraries & Documents Folder on the HDD where there is abundant room. The same principle applies to Lion, I'm told. Ian [/QUOTE]
