Why you need SSD for photography? An HD seems a better solution to be honest, isn't?
Opening a single picture is a sequential operation, as well as dumping pictures from camera to disk.
Am I missing something obvious?

- Kye 4y agoNot the person you replied to, but bulk exports from something like Lightroom or Capture One benefit from faster speeds. If you have a fast enough CPU and enough memory, the main bottleneck is I/O. It doesn't matter for a few photos, but when you want to (for example) convert a whole trip worth of processed raws to JPG, every MB/sec counts.
