    And here I thought I was going to be reading about your conversion to Mac. Oh well. Good to know about the SSDs though. Might have to get one in my next MacBook.

    I can't. Certain software I use with clients for Technical Writing does not work on a Mac even in Parallels or Bootcamp due to the use of .Net.

    iTunes won't allow you to put it's information anywhere other than in a particular user's profile. Which, can be edited in the Windows Registry to be placed on any drive.

    I was running a pair of 250GB Corsair SSDs in a Striped RAID setup for incredible speed and after installing the OS logged in with a "dummy" account to edit the registry putting the Profiles onto my mirrored 1TB platter drives.

    Ended up saving my behind when one of the SSD's took a crap!

    Should have called me. I've been cloning drives since ... late 90's? I use it to maintain up to date images for various configs at work. At this point it's faster for me to copy user data and re-image the computers than trying to fix what ever the user did. Or spend ours running virus scans, or what not. You should look into Acronis. Besides having an extremely fast cloning software, their back up software is one of the best I've seen. Easy to use, many different back up schemes, back ups to drive, NAS, cloud. All for about $50.
