Thanks Todd & Mylenium,
 
That makes sense, how much SSD disk cache is recommended for AE? I use my only SSD for Windows as it’s only 60 GB and I thought that wasn’t enough for disk cache?
(one problem is that I’ve only got 4GB free on the SSD)
It would be great to know the importance of RAM vs SSD cache vs CPU speed and cores, is there a performance calculator for that online?

Thanks
Anders


Get that SSD some more room, 4GB is way too little free space. Normally a SSD needs some extra headroom to perform at its best... or that is what i have been told by more knowledgeable people.

I have set up my AE to use 500GB on a 3x256GB SSD raid-0, and that fills up pretty quickly, so i would recommend to setup the cache to as much as you can afford. :-)
Actually it is always full on 500GB, but AE is nice enough to just delete the oldest cache when it runs out of the allocated amount. Right Todd?
