Funnily enough I am wading through hundreds of bracketed sets, right now, trying to cut back a bit on storage.
I have got a couple of SSD's from my local hock shop, they seem to get them in occasionally. Unfortunately they are only 250Gb, I really need a Tb drive for my images but I don't access my older images that often so what I am doing is keeping the bulk of the images on the WD black spinning drive and putting current images on the SSD, together with the Lightroom catalogue and previews files.
The difference that has made is amazing. The SSD's are mounted on PCIe cards and they are like, 5 times faster than the spinning WD black drives which are pretty quick themselves. Lightroom is incredibly responsive running via the SSD's, the difference is chalk and cheese. No spinning beachballs or any sort of pause, I can swipe through a whole year of images without it even blinking. With the spinning drive ten NEF's and it paused for twenty seconds while the buffer caught up.
