Never take life, or anything in it, too seriously.
Yeah.. Another thread of this..
I first bought a 240GB SSD last year specifically just FOR the LR app & catalog, and would not go back. Images have been stored regardless on a spinner.
However, now I've done a fresh install of windows 10 onto the first half of the SSD, after resizing the original 1 partition. So now the OS is on the first half along with apps (incl. LR), and the LR catalog & various other original App folder remnants (pending deletion) are still on that 2nd half.
I've read that one should not worry so much with newer SSD's, but still.. I have no income right now, and worry. I've moved the system temp folders to the spinner, with Firefox & Palemoon temp folders as well. I'm also thinking of moving the Fx&PM profile folders to the spinner as well - since there really wasn't much improvement at all in regards to the browser startups, nor operation while browsing.. So I might as well shave some write cycles there.
However one thing that still puzzles/concerns me is that my main LR catalog (of ~3000 images) is ~1GB. Also let me state that I will restart LR to backup the catalog many times while doing editing - TO the spinner in this Laptop.
However, I heavily doubt that the whole 1GB would need to be changed after some editing each time. But I'm not certain of how this would translate in terms of SSD write cycle figures. Would it still count as 1GB each time LR exits (when I assume changes from the LR-journal file are written back into it)? So If I restart LR 10 times in one day, would it still count as 10GB/day as far as the SSD is concerned?
Many thanks if anyone knows for sure.
