Should I Move The Swap Location For My Mac From The SSD To The Larger HDD In My Laptop?

I am certainly not an expert, but I would think that the faster read/write rates on an SSD would ensure faster performance on large programs than the hdd would.


  • Try to work as you usually do without writing to any drive except SSD (well at least not vast amounts).
  • Watch Disk Activity tab in Activity Monitor after a day or two.
  • Extrapolate Data written value
  • Compare to the spec of your particular SSD.

P.S. Here is people are killing their SSD for you and me.
