Most modern hard drives are fast enough to hold your data. The shining
point of an SSD is that it operates your *programs* with terrific speed,
not to mention a lightning fast boot-up.
I have SSD's as my boot drives, and loaded Windows, my Adobe programs; LR,
PS, Acrobat, and Microsoft Office there.
That array is small enough to fit on a 250 gig ssd with lots of room to
spare.
Then I have a one TB drive in as my data drive, and I now use Dropbox for
current picture files, and am able to retrieve them from any of my 3
computers, my ipad or my iPhone.
Image access into PS from my Dropbox is nearly as fast as from my hard
drive, at least fast enough for me, and I always have a need for speed.
Regards,
Sonny
