Three years in a decent size format? Not sure. I ask because I want to build a PC that will rapidly process Canon RAW files ready for printing. Samsung seems to think they are wonderful, but they would wouldn't they?

Will an SSD make a difference in this situation? I personally am not sure. RAW processing is very CPU- (and with certain apps, GPU-) intensive so I suspect that's more likely to be the location of any bottlenecks rather than drive speed. Also, bear in mind that SSDs are much lower capacity than HDDs, and also that unless you buy a particularly fast SSD the sequential read speed - which is what I imagine will matter the most - might be no better than a HDD.

Minimum is deciding where to crop, perspective correction etc etc...
You could batch process your raw files into jpegs so you could see which photos are worth keeping.

Quote from: Crucibleofevil You can't just print images - you will need to process using the human eye first.

I use CS3 for all of this and I've calibrated my printer/monitor for colour correctness... however I was under the impression that CS3 uses the discs for cacheing while the final print process is underway. My current discs certainly work hard while the file is spooled to the printer. I just thought that SSDs might improve the speed.

It's also very processor intensive
Do you have control over what disk your printer spools to - I assume you are using Windows?
