Hi,
Personaly I was thinking about the big avantage of SSD to also manage
also picture, so i have buy a 240Go of a SSD
It's sufficent (for my personal usage) to store
- the OS ( ~ 25Go),
- my home DIR (~100Go, i realy need to clean this part...)
- my jpg file (~80Go for 34K files) the export of the raw file
- my "actual" raw (~ 60Go )
When i run out of space (max one per year) , i move older raw file
(normaly less used than newer) to a my hdd.
It's realy simple as i store them via YYY-MM-DD structure.
Since i have the SDD, i have write on it 3To, so ~ 4-5Go per day so much
less than the garanty for 5 years (30Go per day).
It's still possible to dramatic reduce the rite usage on the ssd in
comparaison of my usage but ...
My 2 cents info
Regards
