hi guys

well an going back to uni in September so will be using my macbook pro day in day out for FCP work and photoshop and other stuff so was looking at adding some more hard drive space at the mo i have a 250gb drive just thinking whats out there in the way of an upgrade for this needs to be no slower than 7200rpm as its video editing.

also was thinking about an ssd in the express 34 slot as u can get 32gb i have see will this drive run the speed i need to it to video edit from and will it be after than a 7200 hdd? if so would putting applications on this drive and scratch disk for FCP make it run faster?
