Mac question, is this possible?

Feek · 07-08-2008, 22:52

With the potential sale of my PC along with a nice tax rebate that I'm due and the hoarding of some expenses (plus discovering the HE store) I've decided that I do still rather like OS X and I'm looking at getting myself a Mac Pro in the next couple of months.

So I want to know if my plan is possible.

I want to have the Apple supplied 320Gb drive for the OS and applications but have a second and faster drive configured for my home directory.

So effectively I guess that I want to mount a second drive as /Users/feek and not to show up in the finder as a second drive, but have that as a transparent mount point. I've got used to having just one icon on the desktop and would like to keep it that way!

Can this be done? Is this a good thing to do?
