For me it's 105 35 1.4 and maybe 400mm f2.8
You should really always have your main software and files on the main drive, preferably SSD (I can't cope with HDD )I'm going to buy a new SSD - having the LR catalog and images on an external USB hdd is killing me..
I've got mine in a normal spin drive and also on external HDD and it's perfectly fine though even on 42mp files.just build 1.1 previews when exportingI'm going to buy a new SSD - having the LR catalog and images on an external USB hdd is killing me..
Everything will be sooooo slowI've got mine in a normal spin drive and also on external HDD and it's perfectly fine though even on 42mp files.just build 1.1 previews when exporting

How much space does your catalog take?I have two internal drives both SSD - neither have room for photo imports and catalog sigh

Not on 1.1 previews enabled and built. Ssd Is too expensive to use for RAWSEverything will be sooooo slow

1tb give or take. I split my catalogue into part year's.for instance I had 3 catalog for last year's picture's.i normally have 2 per yearHow much space does your catalog take?
Mines instant after i import.i'd use it for import, then move it to external after - I want everything instant, I cannot wait a second for an image - I need to scroll 10 images in a second.

Why is it so big? My LR catalogue is just over a GB, then a further 20GB taken up with previews. I set it so that previews are deleted after 30 days, if I ever want to go back and edit I can just rebuild the previews then.200gb currently. i should probably split it into multiple catalogs now
a full RAW import could be 256GB (unlikely will be) but 2 x 128GB cards
I have my working files on the SSD then offload the old RAWs onto external drives. With what you spend on gear I'm sure you can afford an SSDNot on 1.1 previews enabled and built. Ssd Is too expensive to use for RAWS

Dunno why your catalogue is so large thenmine is set to discard 1:1 after 30 days, my only issue with getting an SSD is there's no where to mount it

I took 22,000 photos in last 30 days
You took an average of 30 photos per hour 24x7 for the last 30 days....that's a seriously itchy trigger finger! How many photos of your dog do you actually need
What's the size of the actual catalogue, and what't the size of the file relating to your previews?I took 22,000 photos in last 30 days

Rules sometimes can be ignored, but not with horizons in landscapes, especially when there's a large body of water in the scene (unless you've done it deliberately such as 45 degrees to look 'arty' ) In any case, in Jonney's pic nothing's straight, the fence posts and bench are leaning to the right too
Yea.dont you build 1.1 previews? helps a lot plus the new update increases performanceand your catalog and photos are on the same external hard drive?

Ssd are expenses. Can get as expensive as buying a new lens so I wouldn't use them to store RAWS
Ahhh I think these codes are linked to user accounts, tried Dan's and it didn't work.
They must activate it on their end for certain people who spend x amount of money at WEX etc.
I can process whilst it's importing, but it's not as quick as when I've left it to build 1:1 previews. Not bad though which is good as I'm too impatient to wait for previews to finish buildingI used to be able to start processing images whilst they were still importing before I used the external USB hdd, now it shows me 20 images and I have to wait ages before it shows the rest.
I will try a 500gb USB 3.0 SSD drive I have and see if that improves matters....
Oooo I didn't even know I was special.
i've just been paid, it's burning a hole in my bank..
It's warm enough now, you can wait a few months to fix itYeah, a broken boiler has put a stop to any new gear this month.

I don't think USB3 is as fast as having a SSD in your computer. Using USB is no go. period. Too slow and frustrating.
I have a 500GB SSD in my iMac, I import to hard drive for processing. They stay on hard drive till they are printed or exported. Then dumped in amazon cloud and deleted.
QualityI said before, it's for temporary RAW import whilst I process, then I move them all over to external after.
