The point of the two-drive system is that I can boot either OS,
and have the _same_ user directories. Our one SSD Mac is insanely
fast, compared to before. This Mac Pro is pretty darned fast, even
with rotating media. (Which I trust WAY more than flash memory.
Had plenty of experience with that
This Mac Pro has a second drive for the OS. The plan is to
replace it with an SSD. Works perfectly as it is. The original
drive holds a bone-stock 10.7.5 installation, the last OS that
officially will run on it. The second HD holds a tweaked

I should have been clearer on this.
If you relocate your Home directory to another device and attempt to restore
your user account, Time Machine will not restore the Home directory if it
resides elsewhere.
That is, even though there are pointers for your Home directory on the boot

External USB drive for Mac
It will certainly boot faster on an SSD. However, accessing your files, such
as documents and such will be slower if they reside on a spinny drive and not
the SSD.
Pictures and music should reside in your Home folder. If it doesn’t you may
have issues accessing
You’re welcome.
You should be fine. The power requirements are the same, the bandwidth is
higher with 3.

Stupid choice by Apple. Again. (in my opinion. *smiles* )
If the hardware doesn't have USB3 - why not use Firewire?
It's still better than USB, and faster than USB2.

System files are, in my opinion, the best choice.
SSD has a limited number of writes - but unlimited reads. So

Really, I thought it booted much faster on the SSD. Not that I really
care, I rarely have to reboot it anyway, and the spinning drive is much
faster to boot than the gorked 1TB drive was.
I'm not sure now what I'll do with the SSD in there, I guess I could put

“Splitting” the OS is not a performance mod. In fact, it tends to slow the
system down.
I used to have a 128GB SSD for a boot drive in my Mac Pro, and my Home folder
lived on a RAID (and previously on a single spinning drive). I bought a 480GB
SSD and moved everything back to one drive and it

Based on your hardware, FW will be the faster of the two, but if you‘re not
worried about performance, go with USB if it’s cheaper. Your MacBook doesn’t
have USB 3.0 to the best of my knowledge, so that’s pretty much lost on you if
you get a 3.0 USB drive or enclosure.
