So it is not faster to render to an SSD as it is to 5400RPM drive? And it’s faster to have the media files on a 5400RPM drive than the internal 7200RPM drive?

I guess I’m trying to wrap my head around everything. Could you explain why this is so? 🙂

To clarify, I have a slow spinning 4TB drive for storage, and another 5TB drive to back up the first drive. I can get more storage drives as time goes on. The internal drive and SSDs aren’t really meant to be a permanent dumping ground but rather a place to keep unfinished projects.

Thank you for your input. I ended up taking your advice and got the newer machine. Everything looks so crisp on the retina display; I definitely don’t regret it! After Effects performance isn’t stellar yet, but that is to be expected as 8GB of RAM doesn’t allow AE to really utilize my i7 CPU effectively. I expect once I get the 32GB in the next few weeks that it will get zippier. 🙂
