Hi Robert,

Regarding the SSD disk cache, I assume cache is saved on the SSD for any rendered frame (just as on a spinning HD) as long as one doesn’t go into settings and clean the disk cache?

Is it common that AE caches 1 frame wrong like that?

Thanks
Anders

And i will agree with all above. Get as much RAM as possible for the amount of money you want to spend, it should be fairly cheap to put in 48GB, and a SSD to the disk cache. You will not want to turn back to the old setup when you start working with AE with huge amounts of RAM and a fast SSD :-)

...only thing is that cleaning the SSD disk cache is a all or nothing, you will have to loose 500GB perfectly fine disk cache because of 1 frame that AE cached wrong :-(

RAM and SSD make a really big difference especially if you do multi-proc rendering.

I agree with Mylenium that more RAM and a bigger SSD would be a good idea. Both will help with overall speed, especially if you use the SSD for the After Effects disk cache.
