| IOPS are what you want for any app thats caching frames. those are smallish 1-maybe 32mb files. use a dedicated SSD with the expectation of killing it with high write cycles, but you’ll probably still be running it just fine 4-5 years from now :) My setup is 512gb system SSD, 1TB dedicated cache, a 2nd 512gb SSD thats still running fine as backup cache or music work. Audio is much more demanding for latency and small I/O and really benefits from a SSD once you are 40-60+ tracks in.

Perhaps not of the top of the line 970 Evo & Pro ones but the "slower" cheaper QLC ones like Intel 660p & Crucial P1, which have reached the price of ordinary ssd drives that have more than 4x slower speeds (~ 100$ for 1TB drives). > > Would they be a better choice for PR & AE for fast I/O read and write operations than a regular ssd and if not why?
