Considering his heavy Photoshop use, prioritizing more RAM makes sense. While 8GB with a 60GB SSD works, 16GB would likely offer better performance and smoother workflows. The speed difference can make a noticeable impact on large projects.

ram assists in photoshop, extra memory helps with bigger resolutions, many layers, effects, and previews. More ram allows better multitasking.

I’d prefer additional RAM for intensive Photoshop tasks. Is there enough space available for a scratch disk like Dizmo?

Ugh! I missed out on a solid deal—$100 for a 16GB unit. It’s usually not wise to treat the OS drive as a scratch disk, and I’m repurposing my 60GB SSD from my old machine to give it away, so there’s no extra cost involved. He’ll receive either a 250GB or 500GB SSD for his setup.

It seems a 1TB HDD typically costs around $60 USD. Prices can vary slightly.

They function, yet they move significantly slower. His setup includes a 500gb SSD, a 2tb HDD, and a 2tb WD external drive. He isn’t a gamer at all, and even he wouldn’t want to switch back to an HDD-based system. *shudder*
