Any performance loss? - Application installed on SSD, document saved on HDD?

[NYCypher]

What - if any befit will I lose working on a document saved to a HDD if the main application is installed on a SSD

I know the Photoshop will still open and close faster but will manipulating large images be affected?

I doubt you'll see much difference. SSD's main benefit is their low seek time having no mechanical parts, sequential reads aren't that much faster than a traditional HDD. For a single large file, you'll only have a few milliseconds delay for the actuator arm get to the file and start reading. After that, it's about the same performance.

Loading a program on the other hand generally requires reading hundreds of files from the drive, so those milliseconds can add up.

I agree. the difference would be in the loading of the document and perhaps the time needed to spin up the drive, a few seconds difference at Max, milliseconds at minimum.
