What is the best SSD for video editing? Mainly being used in Adobe Creative Cloud products like Premiere Pro and After Effects. Also, does it make a difference if you use a separate SSD for your scratch disk that doesn't have the footage you are editing with on? I have heard claims it does, but does it really make a noticeable difference or even a difference at all?
 
The best SSD for video editing is the best SSD for anything else. You don't get use specific SSDs.

I'd go for a Samsung 850 Pro if you have the budget.

I can't comment on your second question.
 
I have a Crucial MX100 SSD for my scratch disk and it makes a massive difference. Any SSD that has decent sustained write speeds and good read speeds should be fine. Keep in mind the writes will be intensive so go for an SSD with higher max writes or just a cheap one 😛
