Yes the only problem is my audio files are BIG try 15 GB or more PER FILE -and that is not even podcasts -those are even bigger. Now multiply that by THOUDREDS of files and the files being overwritten weekly. I would be concerned for the wear and tear on the SSD.
The best practice is to use SSDs for your OS and games. Put your video and audio files on HDDs for storage.
You need to start using RAID 1, RAID 10, RAID 5, or RAID 6 if you are truly concerned about possible HDD or SSD failures.
You can also set up an automatic weekly or monthly backup to mirror your volumes/drives on a separate machine like a NAS running on RAID as well.
Maybe one or two of those for complete data backup and disconnected from the main system.
I found that bigger drives not always work well -especially if your trying to access multiple things from the same drive...
That's not the case for me at all. I have never had any issues accessing multiple files at the same time from the 10TB and 12TB Seagate IronWolf Pro HDDs in my NAS and HTPC. I'm talking about video files that are 10 to 40GB as well. In fact, these large HDDs are so much quicker than my smaller HDDs
So tried running FIVE those programs each in a different video player? VLC, Media Player Classic, Media Player BE, mpv player and GOM Player if you need the five different ones. Is doing this smooth or do you get stuttering? THIS is the issue.

Uh yeah with 16 TB of games collected through the decades that is a bit more expensive to put all games on a SSD. I now find that putting some games on 2 separate drives while I multi-task can allow me to run 2 games while encoding work is... encoding.
I am not concerned with HD failures -its wear, tear and overuse that is my concern. I am concerned specifically with quad-lateral wear and tear or overuse will take a drive of 5 to 10 years and make last one to two. An example of which I posted above: Same drive to access 5 DIFFERENT things at once causing excess wear and tear.
It isn't easy to say run ME3, decoding, encoding of video and audio and music playback from the same drive. With some more experimentation I now am getting better results. Instead of games on one drive and instead splitting games to two drives... Putting video to another and audio to another and the OS running the programs seems to get better results.
That said: One other issue is that one certain program -I am not going to name names uses the TEMP folder on C for its working folder. This seems to be hard coded since it can't be changed -or you know I would. So C: gotta be bigger than standard 2TB -At least 1.93 TB -that is build allotment (got me as to why). Now yes sure this could be that I am not using a SSD but these 2 TB WD Black 64 GB cache drives should handle it just fine. Its most likely the FX CPU.
Drill that can also be used as a screwdriver to build the desk -suggestions appreciated.
I used to have something like this: Bosch PS21-2A 12VYou could probably get away with something cheaper, but if you need to use it as a drill, it'll just be a pain to use.
You can call me one-eyed Error 404: Damn not found
And just like that.....the *flashy-thingy* behaviour is back. STarted my PC this morning and it started immediately. Rebooted.....and now it's gone again.
I seriously believe that if you change the keyboard it will negate this. If it still shows up then its something else. A new system shouldn't function like this... The only other thing I could think is a bad monitor cord or bad display port on the graphics card.
Well, today I also did have trouble typing as well as the flyashy thing behaviour with the app windows, the cursor started jumping to random places. So I switched ports on the keyboard and it's fixed.
But it is not the screen or monitor itself flashing it is the application window
But it is fixed for now

Smaller HDDs fare much worse regardless. They are always slower than their larger capacity counterparts.
If you find it otherwise, something is probably wrong with your HDDs or your setup like your storage subsystem.

That's another reason to use an SSD over a HDD. There's no such thing as wear and tear when it's only reading files.
That's why for my storage, I swapped my WD Black HDDs for Samsung 870 Evo SSDs instead. Searching and reading files don't wear out NAND flash memory even if you do it excessively.
Since I'm mirroring them with RAID 1, I'm not too concerned about failures or data loss either.

So while accessing no wear and tear? Even if while your accessing your also putting more data on there? So watch those five videos while simultaneously also putting two or more video files on there of at least 2 35 GB?
As to RAID maybe in a 100 years. Just for now its more trouble than its worth since I got my backup system in place as antiquated as it is -it works for me.

Sometimes going slower is a benefit rather than a negative.

What trouble? You just set it up and it does everything automatically.

It's the easiest thing ever.
Automatic? Hmm. There is yet another problem. No tactile control.
Some times that can be too much. Too much speed isn't always a good thing: That is 190 MPH (305.775 KPH) to 0 MPH/KPH in 3 seconds.
Racing is speed. If you think there's such thing as too much speed in racing, perhaps motorsport is not for you at all.
You have to get into the mentality of the racing drivers first. They're risking everything including their lives in order to be faster than everyone else.
If you ask any racing drivers to choose between a car that is 10% faster but also more lethal in a crash and a car that is 10% slower but much safer in a crash, I guarantee you all of them will pick the more dangerous car to drive. There is no such thing as too much speed to these guys.
This is why we have motorsport governing bodies to set up regulations and safety rules.
But this is all off topic bullshit. Let's get back to PC building including yours. Don't worry, fast SSD won't kill you.

I know its about speed but they need control to. Though just so you know he walked away from that crash.
Also there are forms of racing that doesn't need to be fast:
Ok he's the exception.
That all said Technically even these cars have computers on board so we are talking about computers so...

Yes back topic: I have nothing against SSD's if that is your notion -they simply are not cost effective yet to replace if they do burn out as I surmise. In my case its better to be safe than up the river without an oar afterwards.

It depends on how much you value raw performance and also how much you value your time.
In this case, video editing on SSDs is more like being up a creek with a jetpack compared to your paddle or your oar.
