On 4000 images, the "cost" was about 8GB on a total file size of 110TB.... 8% .... chicken feed when HDD go for $25 a TB............. I might add that the time it took to do all those previews was the better part of 1/2 a day..... Having said all that, the majority opinion is that the OS and Applications belong on the SSD..... Another day's dreams are blown to smithereens..... And a lesson learned.... Ask FIRST>. Thank you Tina and the others that helped me out.....

What kind of previews do you have for your photos in LR? If you have LR build 1:1 previews of the files you are working on, they will pop onto the screen immediately. I think Smart Previews do, too. It is the Standard-sized previews that are very slow to load. You can set LR to build 1:1 previews and then discard them after a certain amount of time to save space. Hope this helps.
