Hi There. Enjoyed the show.
One Question. Can anyone confirm that the MacbookPro Unibody with ExpressPort, allow the computer to be booted of an SSD ExpressPort installed in the machine.
This could mean that the OS would load off the SSD, you could then use the HDD as the main data drive.
Thanks John and Dave… We really appreciate you mentioning iStat.
Will give the podcast a listen now. Cheers!
