Question

Use SSD or HD for editing current Project with Premiere Pro?

Hey guys,

I am wondering if I should be placing my current Project Files on my SSD (256GB) for better performance during editing and then later move them to my HD (1TB) for storage?

Here is my current desktop setup:

      Your link does not work for me.  Ideally you should have two SATA III SSD's for editing unless your one SSD is is the super speed PCIe Gen 3 x4 variety.  When you are finished efiting then move to a hard disk drive.  A lot depends on your media and the size of your projects

      Hmm...odd it works for me. I have a Samsung EVO 850 250GB. Hard Drive is just a Western Digital 7200 RPM 1TB hard drive.

      I know it is not ideal, but it is what I have to work with for now. I'd just like to know what the best configuration is for my current setup.

      Your 850 EVO is a SATA III SSD and having your OS/Applications plus your project files is asking too much from that SSD.  You desperately need a good starage SSD.  Your motherboard readily supports another SATA III 6Gb/s device or a real super solution would be a M.2 PCIe Gen 3 x4 SSD, or a third solution is to use your USB 3.1 port with something like a Samsung T5 250 GB portable SSD.
