SSD… for sure.
No moving parts, faster read and write, no noise etc.
Somewhat costlier but this is the new standard and
the "no look back" solution I opted for. Very happy!
It's 128GB in the 2TB and 3TB drives. Whilst undoubtedly superior, an internal SSD and external USB-C HDD adds a noticeable chunk of cash to the bottom line.A few years ago I would have said Fusion, that was back when the SSD component was 128gb, these days the SSD component on a 1tb fusion drive is 24gb.
I did quote 1tb as I was thinking of my way of working . I don't store images on my internal drive only using it on the odd occasion as a temporary work drive. If you do store your work on the internal (you still need externals for backup etc) then a 2 or 3tb Fusion would make sense...It's 128GB in the 2TB and 3TB drives.

Well there's fast and there's fast enough - I just bought a new iMac (today actually) with the 1tb Fusion drive as its both big enough and fast enough for my use
I will be adding more ram though, but relative to my NINE year old one that just died on me, (I never had a pc get past 18 months!) its already lightning fast by comparison - so I'm happy

Always got the option of upgrading the Ram as well if required

Files come in, get edited, get saved as finals and raws either deleted (yes really)
