  HI guys question would FCP and 3d application benefit from Solid State Drive any in way as performance in rendering or program performance in mac pro?

  Thanks

  An SSD used as a startup disk would speed up things like booting the computer, reading the project file stored on it, possibly even working faster with large project files some as well. It will not speed up renders a ton.

  Renders in FCP depend mostly on CPU speeds and GPU power, not disk drive speeds.
