A few tens of MB doesn?t take much time to read out of a HDD, once, so a SSD can?t improve much on that. Where I see a difference is in doing computation-intensive tasks on those files in PS, which uses the drive as a scratch disk during computations, storing and retrieving intermediate results repeatedly. For example, upscaling a full-frame 36MPx image by doubling the pixel dimensions on an image recently took 15 seconds on an iMac with a HDD, but only 1-2 seconds on an iMac that is similarly configured but has a SSD, and on my SSD-equipped laptop as well. ?howard > On Jul 26, 2017, at 11:19 AM, Frank Filippone <red735i at verizon.net> > wrote: > > The top line is that the new SSD is no faster than my HDD, as tested by > LRCC. > > > > OK.
