Depending on the file sizes open in Photoshop, the scratch drive may never be used in a way that will slow you down -- assuming RAM is sufficient. Yes, the scratch file is always used in that it is being written to, but those writes don't cause a hit to performance. The slowdowns occur when RAM is exhausted and the scratch must be read back into working memory. Even if your scratch is on an SSD (as mine is), you'll still see and feel the difference.
Maybe one of these would be good if you're RAM limited...
Not just for macs, BTW.
Ha. Don't need one of those yet, mine is working great, I have no slow downs. It is nice to know there is a work around if you need it. I can handle pretty big files with what I've got.
Not sure about the OP what size files he works with. I'm guessing he's trying to get the best bang for the buck, but not sure how to go about it. And that depends on what size and type work he does and his billfold.
