My old computer config is like this :
I do a video editing is more like a hobby, so I do it just occasionally.
I use Adobe Premiere v7.2.1 and Adobe After Effect cs 6 and the program is in the OS C: drive.
What I use to do when I edit a video:
So basically the source files, media cache files, scratch disk, etc are all in the same drive (D: drive)
where E: drive is used only when I export the final movie (rendering stage).
Premiere use the Intel HD Graphics (OpenCL) which speed a bit faster than software rendering.
The render time for plain (no effect) 1 minute MTS file is about 73 seconds.
Now I am thinking to buy a small size SSD (Adata SU650 120gb is in my mind).
If I buy it, I wonder how do I setup it to be optimized for my video editing.
I am sorry for the long write as I want to be as clear as possible.
Sorry also for my broken English.
Any kind of respond would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advanced.
(btw, I don't do 4K video editing)

What I use to do when I edit a video:
- Make a new folder on D: drive
- Put all the MTS file (from my handycam) in that new folder
- Put some other files (for example mp3 for background music, jpg photo, etc) also in that new folder
- Open Premiere, import all those files then save the .prproj file also in that new folder
- Do the editing then export to E: drive
