rendering: source files or program files disk used?

[opkathens]

Hi there! In order to decide the type (SSD or HDD) and storage capacity of new disk I need to know where Adobe programs do the rendering (if all programs perform the same way e.g. Illustrator and Premiere) Assuming we have two different disks: the rendering uses the disk where the source files are stored or the disk where the program files are installed? Let me pose the question in a different way: if source files are stored in a HDD and the program is installed on an SSD will the rendering be slower compared to an SSD storage? Thank you.

Premiere lets you choose where you want the rendered files (and the export files)

That means rendering can be done to a different disk? I have a 256 SSD wich has little space left and seems that the procedure sticks there. How can I change the default folder? Will this solve the issue? Thanks.

Okay right. Thanks. From my understanding there are three types of files created during editing/rendering: media cache files, scratch files and temporary files. It seems I can change the first two folder, but temp files that might consume space can't be saved outside drive C. Is that correct? Thank you.
