I suppose I have much to learn about SSD drives.
All I can tell you is that after having one in my MBPr,
I will never go back to a hard drive.
I am anxiously hoping that Apple still has new iMacs to
announce by year end and that purchase will also include
an SSD drive.
I really don't know much about SSD drives and once in
a while I come across statements on other forums like
"the more you write to an SSD drive the more it slows down."
I believe I have heard a few hints here on this forum that
it's not good to constantly write to SSD drives.
On my laptop it's no problem. I don't do much file downloading
or document editing or otherwise. All I do is browse and email.
However, on my next iMac, all I will be doing is downloading
files, editing documents and constantly editing (adding and deleting)
things.
Would it be better to add an external drive for all the things I
need to write, edit to and delete?
