PS is also a hog - so if you are using a decent-sized file, it'll always use a scratch disk.
If I had a choice between a machine with 8 GB RAM plus a hard drive versus a 4GB RAM plus a 256GB SSD (with 100 GB free), I'd take the SSD any day for a serious PS project where the file is 100 MB plus lots of layers and a full history. If you are just modifying smaller PS files, 4GB of RAM is fine so long as you are not running a ton of other apps at the same time.
My files are nowhere near 100 MB so maybe the SSD is the way to go.
Thanks.
