Morten, not being a Mac person I can only tell you the way it works for the drives in many computers, regardless of what brand. There will be a difference, it is probably measure in microseconds (blink and you miss it). The faster drive will access some of your files quicker, but only the larger files i.e heavy video editing etc. Here is a great site that shows you some of the differences. http://barefeats.com/pb12.html hope this clears it up for you. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.p... has a discussion Mac specific about it.
