Hi Post-Production-Pie,
I’ve bought myself a new 2011 Apple MBP 15′ laptop and upgraded the
factory hard drive to a 120GB SSD to run OS X & Lightroom 3
instead. Would it be advisable to move the “LRCACHE” folder to a
“external hard drive” connected via firewire 800 and use the same
external hard drive to store all my images?
