Subject: [Leica] Help with understanding the new SSD in my computer.....

Doing what she said, the time to bring an image (1:1) up on the monitor took
between 1/2 and 1/3 the time as not having 1:1 previews.
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.
