i thought lots of fun take 2 64gb crucial m225 solid-state drives , install them both in 13'' macbook pro in raid 0 (striped) configuration. know ssds fast already, have them work in paralell 1 larger 128gb ssd deliver amazing speed.
quick purchase of bay mount drive optical superdrive allowed easy install of both ssds internally. snow leopard installer let me set raid install system it.
whopping 10 minutes later , running.
let's see results!
