Sep 21, 2016 12:56 PM in response to dj-anonby Tom Wolsky,How big is the SSD? How much work do you have to do with how much media? I assume the SSD is the system drive and is running the system as well as other software. That's a lot of file swapping going on cluttering up that drive. For smaller projects, the SSD would be great.

Sep 21, 2016 1:24 PM in response to Tom Wolskyby dj-anon,Yes, the SSD is the system drive. I often work on small projects that would fit with no problem in the SSD. The large ones would obviously have to go to the Thunderbolt drive. Also, I usually focus on FCPX and avoid running other software.
My main worry is FCPX and the OS fighting too much for the resources of the SSD.

Sep 21, 2016 4:24 PM in response to dj-anonby JimmyCMPIT,★HelpfulThe more RAM you have the less issue that becomes with the OS and the FCPX session caching to drive.
You could try to keep live projects on the SSD then once your done with them move them to long term storage
but the other question is while the SSD might be faster for R/W than a TB2 connected device it might not be anything you notice so a imperceptibly slower drive with far more storage might be the way to go.
