Ok, so I'm way over my head here. I had my dad help me build a workstation for my video editing according to the videoguys system build about a year ago. Below are the specs. It worked relatively well (albeit slower than I imagined it would be...this could be due to not setting it up or optimizing it 100% from the get-go) but now it's going slower and freezing more than ever. I don't think it's a malware issue, as I rarely ever go on the internet with it, and I've scanned it thoroughly. It's purely for video editing. I suppose there are a lot of factors going in, but one may be that I only have one 1TB HDD, and I'd like to go to some sort of SSD combo moving forward. What specs should I look for in a SSD? How should I have it set up so that Premiere Pro will run well on it? Do the source video/audio files have to be on the SSD? Or is it just the OS and programs that need to be on the boot drive? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
