Just a Quick Question

Hey guys,

My rig that you see below that I'm planning to build this year will primarily be a video editing rig and so I'm wondering, do you think I would need any larger SSD than 250GB? Because I've been thinking about possibly going for a 500GB one.

Thanks in advance for your help. :)

get the 250gb and if you need more buy another and if you dont need more you didnt spend a bunch of extra money.

Well obviously any projects I do I would want them on the SSD for a while and then I would move them to the 2TB HDD. I do film a lot of videos and they're at 1080i of which then I use Handbrake to convert them to 1080P and I always keep the original.

putting videos on a ssd would help that much however if you were to put editing programs on it, it may speed up the time it takes to run them

I'd just get a 120GB and get a 2 or 3 TB hard drive and save some money.

I do plan on getting a 4TB external HDD for backups.

Would you mind rephrasing that please? Just not quite sure what you're trying to say.

im not sure on this but putting programs that you use for editing may speed up the times that it takes to edit

By putting them on the SSD? Yeah I realise that. The SSD will be my boot drive. With the HDD as the storage drive.
