Jumping in again, this is pure economics:
- how much does an SSD cost ./ MB;
- how much does a spindrive cost / MB;
- how much of the expensive disk do you want to hand over to pictures;
- what will you do when the expensive drive is filled with 'library' stuff
Like Jared, I use a NAS for that stuff, as well as for backup.
It's a 'business case' decision.
