Hi,

I like to speed up my boottime of my Mac Mini / Instrument module. I'm
thinking about buying a SSD drive.

How are SSD drives performing these days and how reliable are they? What
about a SSDH drive?

Regards,
Dirk

I've been using a Kingston SSD as the OS drive, since I purchased it in July 2010. There have not been any problems to date.

Do you have a particular reason to use it only as the OS drive and not for your data? Afaik it is not possible to build two hdd drives in a Mac Mini.

Mac Mini running OS X Lion:
