Hi! So my SSD (mid-2012 MBP) crashed a couple days ago. I was running Bootcamp, and it looks like it was the Windows partition that crashed, because I had to connect the drive to a Windows machine to delete and format it. Anyway, i put the drive in an USB enclosure, connected it to my Mac...

Like the title says, I have a mid-2010 MacPro 5,1. I recently added more ram (now at 52) and replaced all the hard drives a little over a year ago. It's a great machine, but I do feel like maybe there's a little room for speed improvement. I'm a professional photographer and mostly use...
