yo Adam, if you already have a fast ssd like a firecuda, it won’t really make a big difference to segment the work on a dedicated drive, if you really want to speed things up, maximize the speed of your RAM, go with crazy speeds like 7000mhz ram sticks and a lot of it, maybe 64 and up. That’s the best investment you can make, then cpu, then gpu, then ssds, good luck and send me a message in the inbox in case you need more detailed help!
