Well with my old desktop I had a 250gb SSD C: with a 120gb SSD as a
scratch disk. Worked pretty well. Now I have a 500gb M.2 and the same
120gb scratch disk. M.2 is PCIE3 x4 so only a little faster than
SATAiii. With my added RAM I'm experimenting with a RAMdisk. Not sure
how the paging works on the newer hdwr though. Maybe not worth it. With
a full desktop I have 6 drives + DVD in the case and 2x eSATA 2tb backup
drives. Plus a few external USB3 drives. I carry a 2tb Elements on
trips. I just picked up a Sandisk 500gb SSD to clone my C: drive. I also
grabbed the 5tb Easystore which is working pretty well. (thanks for the
heads up). And I have a WD MyCloud NAS with my archive and I can access
on the go even with my phone although it isn't practical for photo dumps
out here at the end of the wire. My photo backups are now starting to
max out my 2tb drives. I don't have nearly the library that some of you
do. Anyway I picked up a 4tb WD black drive to be my main photo drive in
the case. 7200rpm a 256 cache. Relegate the 2tb drives to archive duty.
At this point, ALL new purchases will be native USB-C interfaces with
10Gbps. (Don't ask which 3.x that is, as it's rather confusing).
USB3.1 Gen1 is 10Gbps. Gen2 goes to 20Gbps...maybe. USB3.2 competes with
Thunderbolt I think. Just starting to see stuff which can take advantage
of the Gen1. I picked up a couple of thumb drives. My box has Gen2 TypeA
ports but not C. I'd have to get an adapter. Anyone know if the C type
phone cords are USB3.1 ?
