Hi all, 

I learned to turn HDD and SDD indexing off to help speed up drive performance.

Thanks for your input.

Letty

I don't remember exactly what chores the indexing helps speed up but it's EXTREME Repition only and has no effect on any of your Adobe programs. Adobe doesn't use it. Best to leave off for editing cause it slows down the drive a little.
