Not sure about where would be the best place to ask this question, so I'm trying it here.
I have a 2009 Mac Pro (8 core, if it matters). I bought an SSD drive, to replace my boot drive. I cloned my boot drive onto the SSD, and then replaced it. I'm happy with the performance with my system, once it's booted and running. But watching the videos on the OWC website, where I ordered my drive from, their computers are booting much faster, and I think mine actually takes longer with the new SSD.
My question is, anyone who has done this, would you recommend a clean install on the new drive? Or be happy with good performance onces it's booted?
Also, if a clean install is recommend, my Mac originally came with Snow Lepord, and I upgraded to Lion. Once I've reinstalled Snow Lepord, with the Apple App store remember I had previously upgraded, and allow me to upgrade it again for free?
Thanks for any advice,
Jeff
