do I still need Photoshop scratch disc with new SSD drive?
I recently upgraded my laptop hard drive to SSD. Although I have a
separate SSD installed to serve as scratch disc, I wonder if I still truly need it since the main drive is now also SSD? I'd really like to use it for storing things. Thanks. |

I'd really like to use it for storing things. Thanks. Details, we need details. What are the respective sizes of the two SSDs? Do you use the older SSD for anything other than as a PS scratch disc? As a general answer I don't see that there would be any major issue returning scratch disc duty to the main drive. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Thanks. you installed a separate ssd in the laptop that *wasn't* the main drive and solely for photoshop?? that's a complete waste of an ssd (and also very bizarre). now that you've upgraded the main drive to ssd, use it for photoshop scratch. in fact, you ought to replace the second ssd with a large capacity hard drive for storage, which may even be on a slower sata bus and wasn't actually helping much (if at all) anyway. how much memory is in the laptop? because maxing that out is far more important. |

I asked about it because I see mixed opinions googling it; some people still use scratch after SSD upgrade, some don't which is why I turned here. now that you've upgraded the main drive to ssd, use it for photoshop scratch. in fact, you ought to replace the second ssd with a large capacity hard drive for storage, which may even be on a slower sata bus and wasn't actually helping much (if at all) anyway. how much memory is in the laptop? because maxing that out is far more important. 8 GB |

Details, we need details. What are the respective sizes of the two SSDs? 500 GB MAIN; 150 GB "scratch" Do you use the older SSD for anything other than as a PS scratch disc? I don't currently use the extra SSD for anything other than scratch. As a general answer I don't see that there would be any major issue returning scratch disc duty to the main drive. Ok, will give it a try. |

I asked about it because I see mixed opinions googling it; some people still use scratch after SSD upgrade, some don't which is why I turned here. because if you're going to go through the effort to install an ssd in a laptop, it makes a helluva lot more sense to upgrade the main drive and speed up everything rather than a second drive used for only one app, which won't benefit much anyway for reasons i gave below. now that you've upgraded the main drive to ssd, use it for photoshop scratch. in fact, you ought to replace the second ssd with a large capacity hard drive for storage, which may even be on a slower sata bus and wasn't actually helping much (if at all) anyway. how much memory is in the laptop? because maxing that out is far more important. 8 GB if possible, add more. |
