How well does logic run on that system?
We PC users don't need to buy Logic -- our decision to stick with this platform demonstrates that we have plenty of it.

How well does logic run on that system?
People always like to talk about specs and computing power when it comes to mac vs pc. The true functionality comes from the connection between hardware and software and in the elegance of programming. You could have a fast computer running the worst software and it would be no good. When you are able to release hardware and software simultaneously that complement each other you can optimize software for hardware, hardware for software. When Apple decides to update the way the bootloader functions they can roll out new computers with this functionality. PCs have hardware manufacturers and software manufacturers that have to work together..slow and inefficient.

New topic. HDD vs SSD. GO
Lol. That one is just a matter of $$$. SSD drives are lightning fast.New topic. HDD vs SSD. GO

downside of ssd - because it is solid state ,i.e. ic based, if a sector gets corrupted or otherwise damaged there is no getting it back, unlike a hdd which you can reformat - some models become very expensive paper weights in a short space of time
only serves to illustrate the issues of damaged sectors within RAM - makes even more sense now to refer to a SSD as a ram disk that doesn't borrow from system/program RAM
my son keeps asking if I want one (SSD) and I keep saying no
I'm even wary of very large capacity drives as if they fail you can lose way too much stuff, hence my preference for network storage if I can't put my drives inside my machine
yeah, but given that unless you actually are using some of the higher levels of raid the redundancy does nothing if the RAID (Redundant Array of Indexed/Inexpensive Disks) itself fails - to make it safe having more than two is important and for my home operation I cannot justify the extra level of hassle to do this even if I were to use a linux box and lay in some raid control software on top
3 layers of backup suffice for now (second drive same content (aka mirror), NAS located critical backups, DVD/BluRay burns of older files every 6 months) and maybe a 4th layer if needed (RAID version of the above disk based methods)
When I had my SSD, I stored all of my projects and other important work files on a HDD and stored the OS and all re-installable libraries and plugins on the SSD.
That's the way to go, because there really is a trade off between performance and reliability.
the supposed speed of these drive intrigues me
A SSD's speed is not throttled by having to spin the disk into position, so it is running at the full sata buss speed
