OWC 480GB Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD With Photoshop CS5 on 2011 Mac Pro

A single 480GB OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD connected to an internal 3G SATA port (a major handicap) on the 2010 Mac Pro almost matches a fast 4-drive RAID-0 stripe of Hitachi 7K3000 hard drives. (More memory is an even better idea, but this test was done to show off drive performance with inadequate memory)

Impressive!
