Well with my old desktop I had a 250gb SSD  C: with a 120gb SSD as a scratch disk. Worked pretty well. Now I have a 500gb M.2 and the same 120gb scratch disk. M.2 is PCIE3 x4 so only a little faster than SATAiii. With my added RAM I'm experimenting with a RAMdisk. Not sure how the paging works on the newer hdwr though. Maybe not worth it. With a full desktop I have 6 drives + DVD in the case and 2x eSATA 2tb backup drives. Plus a few external USB3 drives. I carry a 2tb Elements on trips. I just picked up a Sandisk 500gb SSD to clone my C: drive. I also grabbed the 5tb Easystore which is working pretty well. (thanks for the heads up). And I have a WD MyCloud NAS with my archive and I can access on the go even with my phone although it isn't practical for photo dumps out here at the end of the wire. My photo backups are now starting to max out my 2tb drives. I don't have nearly the library that some of you do. Anyway I picked up a 4tb WD black drive to be my main photo drive in the case. 7200rpm a 256 cache. Relegate the 2tb drives to archive duty.

At this point, ALL new purchases will be native USB-C interfaces with
10Gbps. (Don't ask which 3.x that is, as it's rather confusing).
USB3.1 Gen1 is 10Gbps. Gen2 goes to 20Gbps...maybe. USB3.2 competes with Thunderbolt I think. Just starting to see stuff which can take advantage of the Gen1. I picked up a couple of thumb drives. My box has Gen2 TypeA ports but not C. I'd have to get an adapter. Anyone know if the C type phone cords are USB3.1 ?
