9/8/2019 How Much For Os X Yosemite
I'm planning to get an SSD on which I'd like to install OSX Yosemite, Logic Pro X and third party plugins for Logic Pro. I need to carefully calculate how much space I'll need. So I'm wondering, if you had an absolute new computer with nothing on none of its drives, and you would install Yosemite, how much space would it take up once installed? Does the home folder take a lot of space the way it is after the first installation? Because I'll probably have the home folder on the HDD and not on the SSD. Thanks a lot.

Just daily use? I've counted only a few Logic plugins now, with Logic itself and OSX I'm already at almost 100 GB.
I'll probably go with a 500 GB SSD. Alternatively I could also buy a 256 one and then buy another, I still have 3 bays left in the Mac Pro. But the price per GB is more expensive if it's smaller, and I also heard the smaller they are, the 'slower' they are. The only advantage would be that if one fails, it's only one. But then again, I always do backups, so it doesn't even matter. BTW at the moment I only have one HDD, but Time Machine can make backups of several drives at once right? Just to be sure.

Does the home folder take a lot of space the way it is after the first installation? Because I'll probably have the home folder on the HDD and not on the SSD. Thanks a lot. Finally I decided I'll be going with a Samsung 850 Pro-series with 256 GB.
Seems to be a good choice I actually already have one HD drive (2TB in the first bay), with the SSD I'll still have 2 more bays left. Yes, I would only like to have a few things on the SSD. The OS, Logic Pro X and my third party plugins for Logic. If I want to have Logic on the SSD, I suppose the whole Applications folder would have to be on the SSD, right? And yes I wanted to create a self-made 'Fusion Drive' too, some members on here actually already linked me to some tutorials. What's complicated, however, is splitting all those things onto HDD and SSD. Such as Logic on the SSD, but not my other Apps like Safari & co.
Or OSX on the SSD, but not the Home folder. (I know it's possible but I heard it makes problems) I'll have to make a plan I think, to see what should go where and then perhaps someone will be able to tell me if that's possible at all. Well, I read that the biggest difference in speed is between 128 GB and 256 GB. The difference between 256 and 512 apparently isn't that big. And I'm not sure if I'd notice the speed difference. I just noticed that there's also a 512 GB version of the 850 Pro.
Get OS X Yosemite from the Mac App Store. Double-click Install OS X Yosemite to begin installation. If you are running Mac OS X 10.6.7 or earlier: Find out if your Mac can run OS X Yosemite. Back up your Mac. Run Software Update to upgrade to the latest version of Snow Leopard (v10.6.8). Get OS X Yosemite from the Mac App Store.
On many benchmark sites, only the 128 and 256 GB versions are listed. From what I've calculated, 256 GB should be enough for now.
If the budget allows, I'll go for 512 GB, I will probably need the space in the future. Also - what speeds do I need to look out for if I'm: - Using OSX with Logic Pro X - Loading virtual (real-time) instruments with big libraries It sounds like the read speed is important to me, not the write speed. The 850 Pro has a similar read speed to its other, cheaper brothers, but I thought I'd go with the newer model, because apparently they're almost more consistent.
(which is important when loading stuff in real time all the time I guess).
