MacPro overhaul needed?
This post from the Cult of Mac has got me thinking.
My current day to day machine is a very capable MacPro: 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors, 12Gb RAM and the ATI Radeon X1900 XT graphics card.
I have a 1TB drive which holds the OS + all my media (photos, music, movies, business files etc). This is replicated with a Super Duper 1TB external drive + a 1 TB Time Machine Drive. I also have 500Gb internal drive with various bits and bobs on.
So, the idea – move all media onto some new external drives and install a fresh copy of Snow Leopard onto a WD Velociraptor 320 Gb 10,000rpm drive. Then connect up the external drives with iTunes media, Lightroom, iPhoto etc.
I remember giving the MacPro an overhaul a few years ago and spoke with the very wise Richard about this. I’m pretty sure my current setup is what we agreed on, as the best possible setup for backup purposes. I’m now wanting OS speed, but can I have both?
If you can spare a few minutes readers, I would appreciate your ideas, and also, if possible, the best way to go about setting up a new ‘Raptor drive as the main OS drive (I’m already getting confused just thinking about it!). Thanks!

Just check out the speed of the web here in Stockholm, Sweden. I’ve been travelling since Tuesday and have had not a lot of time at all for blogging, but lots to come soon, well, next week some time!
Very impressed with Sweden and everyone at orb has been so friendly and welcoming!
