Hi there
Just need a little advise please.
My 2008 Mac Pro is running little slow lately.
I`ve upgraded to 6GB of RAM, Just updated to Yosemite and Abobe Creative Cloud.
Just the whole systems seems a little laggy and slow.
I was thinking about upgrading to a SSD for for my OSX and CC keeping it clean.
You think this is a good option, also is it safe to use any sort of SSD and is there any you would recommend.
Much aprreciated
Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
If you want a fast SSD see:
Fastest SSD in Mac Pro 2006 thru 2012, Leopard and above
If you use a SATA ssd you will need a sled adopter to mount it.

SATA III ? then the Velocity Solo or Duo to mount the SSD in a PCIe slot.
You could mount two SSD on the Duo, one for the system, another for scratch.
(And DO get 24-32GB if you want to handle graphics smoothly and they are large or have a lot of layers and such. FBDIMMs like 667MHz are available and better price and run cooler)
Want speed? Go for a blade adapter and 500-1000GB units. Faster than two SSDs using SATA III.
