Elliott Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I doubt this. Maybe if your running Photoshop 1.0 If it's a warm start, I can believe it. A cold start of Photoshop, no way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 My 2009 Mac Pro with SATA HDD will open Adobe Photoshop CS4 in ?5 seconds on a cold start. A warm start takes ?2 seconds. Honestly, who cares if it launches one or two seconds faster? 5 seconds is nothing really already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you'll be know why SSDs are vital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to get one, but all these brands + recent trim support nonsense doesn't make things easier to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to answer your question, it doesn't really matter about TRIM at this point if you're using OS X, since Snow Leopard doesn't support it.

I have the regular stock HDD that comes with the Mac Pro. Not a SSD. IMO, the technology is still too young to invest. Insanely high prices and there are quite a few problems with it.
