I am doing photo and video editing as well as some 3d (Blender) and will be updating from a 2010 Mac Pro.
In the Mac Pro I use a dedicated 1TB SATA SSD as a scratch disk for caches and such. I was taught that it's always best to keep a scratch disk that is physically separate from the system drive and the media drive for optimal performance.
Now that I am planning how to upgrade to a Mac Studio I am wondering: Is a scratch disk still necessary? Or is the internal SSD so fast that it can handle the system and this job at the same time?
