Not sure how computers, partitions, etc work. I going to be doing a lot of Photoshop work with files that might become very large with layers, etc. 300MB files may not be out of the question. I am going to buy a new desktop with 32GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD boot drive with a 1TB HDD. My workflow plan will be to keep completed files on external hard drives when I am done with them. Only current camera RAW and active Photoshop files will be in the desktop. My question is how to configure my working folders. If Photoshop and Lightroom or other graphics programs are on the SSD and image files are on the HDD, when I work on them in PS, will I be gaining the advantage of the SSD speed because PS is on the SSD? Or, if I have my file folders on the HDD, will I only get the HDD speed when working with the files because they are stored there? I suppose I could also but a 'working' file folder on the SSD so that only files actually being worked are also part of the SSD.
Thanks for the help.
