I have an iMac which has a WDC WD1001FALS-40K1B0 as the pre installed hard drive.
While SSDs are still to small for me to put all my data on they are big enough for me to fit OSX and all my apps on with plenty of room to spare.
Since Mac's have the ability to boot OSX from a Firewire 800 drive I'm wondering if I got a SSD like the new Intel SSD and put it in a Firewire 800 enclosure would it be faster than my built in HDD? If it would be faster, roughly how much faster would it be?
