My G-Tech RAID 0 working drive has been doing a great job storing my images since 2014, but it's now showing signs that it could fail. Assuming it's not an electronics issue, I could just replace the two 7200 drives - and have as much storage as I need.
My Lr catalogue and previews already sit on my iMac's SSD, so speed there isn't a problem.
My question is whether putting my RAW files on a big SSD (rather than an HDD) would give me a noticeable speed boost? Not even sure how I would connect the SSD to the Mac to maintain speed levels...
Something tells me that it won't make a difference, but I thought I would check with people here who know better than me how Lr works under the bonnet.
Thanks in advance for your guidance.
