I'm trying to copy my system drive to an SSD - I have this on one CPU, and it's awesome- really makes a difference in how fast the system boots and operates.
However, on this older system, the system drive is extremely bloated - it's be 'upgraded' several times. After backing up my Avid attic (it had years worth of backups) to our LAN server, deleting media that shouldn't be on the system to begin with (QTs and MXFs that were rendered to the wrong drive, etc) and deleting 'apple loops for soundtrack pro' (our systems have FCP, Adobe, and Media composer on them, but we don't use STP,) I've got the boot drive down to where it will comfortably fit on an SSD, but it makes me wonder -
Where else will I find useless crap filling up my system drive? The SSD in another 'fully loaded' edit bay still has half the crap on it that this older edit bay has- and they have nearly exactly the same programs.
Suggestions where to look?
