"128GB SSD would be too small for a system drive."

I've now replaced my first SSD - see above - with a Sandisk 120Gb Extreme. hopefully it will last a lot longer than the other one, which is being returned under warranty.

The trick is to only put the system on the system drive, not every application. You can easily include an editing application in that - PPro is 780Mb, After Effects 860Mb, Photoshop 516MB (all CS6). Everything else is on various internal and external discs.

Having just today cloned the old SSD to a spinning drive and thence to a new SSD, including restating the machine a number of times, the difference when using the SSD is considerable.
