SSD vs RAM

Best way to get best performance out of any program that uses a scratch disk is to add more RAM and set some of the RAM as a RAM drive... SSD as a scratch disk humm yes and no really.. As pointed out the drives will go into protection states when they get lots of writes and in the end will not be any faster then a good mechanical drive for writing.

Google Ram drive/disk and how to set one up, I always do this on systems that require lots of reads and writes (scratch disk). Makes the system very quick and RAM is very cheap these days so the old story of more RAM the better lives true still.


RAMDISK v.s. HDD

I like the concept of a ramdisk - but with 12GB, I don't know whether I'm better leaving it as system memory and hoping PS won't feel a need to write to scratch... O_o

I'll play a bit over the weekend and see how things perform. Thanks all for the info :)
