Hey Scotty,

I ordered a Filemate 48Gb expresscard34 SSD.  I had read where you can make it the boot disk and leave you files on your HD.

So would that mean I just install the operating system on the SSD? Or would it help to have the applications & Library on there as well?

You could get arguements on both sides of this. I'm in the older school that says leave the apps on the boot drive. However, apps can be run from other drives. Part of it depends on the app. Some apps require large application support files and performace can slow if those are not local. But SSD does change that because of its increased read speed. I would say if you can afford the room, install apps on the boot drive (in this case the SSD) and you can leave your docs and other files on the other spinning HD.

As far as the Library goes, if you mean the OS library, yes, I feel strongly that it needs to stay on the boot drive. However, content libraries like iTunes or iPhoto are fine living on external sources as you know.
