You can get the best of both SSD and Spindle HD if you use a product like Allway Sync. Sounds like you need something that constantly backs up your changes. Keep your working file/folders on SSD and backup to HD at 0 dark thirty every night, unattended.
Nope, doesn't need "working file back-up" every night, I have that handled. Once the original file hits the storage cabinet, I never need retrieve it unless I lose the working copy. Then I pull it out, copy it and that becomes a new working copy.
There is no need to store any working file - working files change constantly, and save only during that working period, then the final copy becomes another original 'final worked' file linked to that client then gets stored permanently.
But it's getting more complex, more explanation than needed. I just want to create a 'save as' file in a 'job folder' and store it in two separate locations in case I lose one ...
And to address the "Cloud" - too large files, and no way I'd trust a 'buncha vapor' in a company that might or might not be in business the next day ... storing my data in a hyperspace closet don't sit right with me. I'd be out of business overnight if the 'cloud' evaporated.
