SSD Size for Media Cache & Scratch

I've watched the Storage Optimization video from Puget Systems and their subsequent article. I have been thinking about upgrading my storage to something more optimal for editing. One of which is having an SSD dedicated to Media Cache and Scratch. The only thing I am not sure of is how big of an SSD I need for Media Cache and Scratch. Is 250GB enough? 500GB?

Puget Systems did their testing with a 1TB drive, but that seems like it may be overkill?

Thanks.

      It completely depends on what you're going to be editing. 1080? 4k? 8k? Each type of footage has different storage requirements.

      I apologize - I meant to add that in my OP. 4K for the most part.

      4k footage is large. Are you editing a 30 second spot? Or a 2 hour feature? There is no one-size-fits-all solution here. Personally, I'd go with a smaller one and upgrade as needed.
