Is 128GB SSD good enough to improve Studio 2015's performance in terms of speed?

Chunyi Chen

Dear Studio 2015 users,

For those of you who have SSD in your computer, I would like to know if getting a higher-end computer that comes with a 128 GB SSD will make a difference in the time it takes to start up a computer and to open large files from a Studio project.  (Some of my clients like to send large, merged sdlxliff files which take a long time to open in Studio.)

I found a computer that seems to be good, but I am not sure about the 128 GB SSD part.  Can someone shed some light on this?

Here is the link to the computer I am interested in:

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise!

Chunyi

    Same as my machine, but the specs in US seems to be better for less money, as usual :(
    My machine has the i7 6700 k, but "only" 24 GB of RAM and 256 SSD. There is a "better" nVidia card in my (960) - if we can talk about a better nVidia, as all these cards provide much worse picture than ATi... Nonetheless, the overall performance of the PC is right for some 3-4 years of Studio-ing our jobs :)

    Thank you for sharing your specs, Jerzy! I am using a Win 7 machine with 6 GB Ram, with no SSD, so I am really looking forward to the arrival of the new computer.
    I am hoping the migration from Win 7 to Win 10 will not be too much hassle, although I am prepared to pay and upgrade some of the other programs, such as Translation Office 3000.
    Speaking of better for less money, well, what can I say? The prices on Amazon here are really amazing. Similar models on other sites were $300-500 more.
    I don't know anything about nVidia card--is this the graphic card? I thought it's more for gaming...

    nVidia is the graphics, indeed. I would very much have preferred an ATI graphics card, but these were not available with the XPS machines, which are made for "gamers".
    As for Win10: not a big deal, when you change from Win7. You will need some time to adapt, but Cortana makes that quite easy.
    Translation Office 3000 runs with Win10 in my case - no problems at all.
