With the info I gave, the assumption that the project-specific TMs might be relatively small was a fair one to make. However, it is not in fact the case, as I have a couple of general TMs I usually include during the project creation phase in case they contain anything useful, and these alone are over 100,000 segments altogether. "Project-specific" (and therefore fairly short-lived) TMs approaching a quarter of a million segments can be expected in the near future.
I don't know if the addition of this information makes a difference to the advice about storing TMs on the SSD, given that TMs of this size might be created and deleted once or twice a week. Unless I change my workflow, of course...
(I'm starting to feel I probably should have mentioned TM size before...)
I gave a bipartite answer to accommodate that uncertainty:) With 100,000+ segments the speed difference is probably noticeable, especially when importing those 100,000 segs, analysing/pretranslating large documents and searching the TM for the first time in a session. Possibly on every successive search as well. The bottom line is, you want those TMs on the SSD. Weekly creation/deletion doesn't factor into it. Just leave at least a couple GB free on the drive and use it as normal.
