SSD enough?

(1/3) > >>

sarah2:
As a real non-tekkie, please can somebody say whether 256 or 512 SSD alone ie no 'normal' memory will run PS CC, Topaz, Office etc ok? It sounds so little.....
I'm happy to keep all photo files etc on external hard drives.
Advice MUCH appreciated!
Ta...in anticipation....!

SpaceStockFootage:
Those should work fine. After nearly a year my total hard-rive usage (excluding assets, videos, images, music - as they're going to vary considerably by person, and you said you're going to store most of them on an external hard-rive anyway) comes to 145GB.

So that's my OS, all my programs and whatever else gets clogged up in the pipes over the years. And I have Ae, Pr, Ps, Ai, a bunch of other CC programs, Office, C4D etc. 

sarah2:
Great! Thank so much! :)))
Have a nice day!!!

Zero Talent:
256 is more than enough, as long as you keep your files on external drives.
I would also recommend a second ssd (it can be smaller) to be used as scratch drive for photoshop and improve its performance.

sarah2:
If only I knew what a scratch drive is, how to locate one and where to put it (so to speak!)......!  :-[
