Will an SSD Improve Adobe Lightroom PerformanceOriginally published 3 April 2. April 2. 01. 5It seems like never a week goes by without me receiving a query as to whether a Solid State Drive SSD will improve Lightrooms overall performance. Similar questions regularly arise on Adobes Adobe Lightroom forum. Unfortunately, the answer is not a simple yes or no. This essay will identify some of the aspects impacting on performance along with some methods by which their effects can be mitigated or removed altogether. Finally, I will compare Lightrooms general performance between a conventional disk drive and an SSD. The first area that I want to look at is the operating system. Adobes minimum system requirements for Lightroom on Windows platform would suggest that a fairly basic laptop with 6. Intel or AMD 6. 4 bit processor running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and 2. GB of ram is perfectly fine. However, the reality is a world away from these minimum requirements, and realistically 8. GB should be considered the minim. The main advantage of a 6. Windows or Mac is that it enables suitably written applications to access more than 4. GB of ram. Lightroom is such an application, and as it loves ram it will generally run much better, especially if other applications are running in background. The second area I want to look at is the CPU. Again, Lightroom is renowned for being very demanding of the CPU. In particular, preview rendering and loading images into Develop module, especially when luminance noise, color noise, sharpening, and lens corrections are applied to a photo. In this context, Lightrooms performance will benefit greatly when recent CPU types such as the Intel Core i. GB or more of ram. Product Page for Apple Mac. Worm Farm Business Plan Template. Book Pro. Its worth noting that when Intels introduced the Sandy Bridge Core i. CPUs many users noticed a very substantial improvement in preview rendering times compared to the previous years Intel CPUs, and an even greater improvement over the fastest Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs from 2. For example, when I first wrote this article, I had first hand experience of running Lightroom 3. Mac. Book Pro 2. 8. GHz Core 2 Duo mid 2. Mac. Book Pro 2. 3 GHz Core i. The following were the average times over three test runs to import from conventional disk drive and render high quality 1 1 previews for 3. Canon 5. D Mk. II raw photos. These are the previews used in the Library module. No develop adjustments where applied to the photos before or during the importpreviewing rendering process. Mac. Book Pro 2. 8 GHz Core 2 Duo with 8. GB ram 3. 2 min 1. Mac. Book Pro 2. 3 GHz Core i. GB ram 1. 9 min 4. Mac. Book Pro 2. 3 GHz Core i. GB ram 1. 5 min 1. Above timings show that the Core i. Quad used in the early 2. Mac. Book Pro rendered the 1 1 previews in less than half the time taken by the 1. Mac. Book Pro Core 2 Duo. In addition, even with only 4. GB of ram the Core i. Quad is still substantially faster than the Core 2 Duo with 8. GB of ram.  Both computers were using an internally mounted Hitachi 5. GB 7. 20. 0rpm disk drive. I expect that a comparison between similarly specd laptops running current versions of Windows will show a similar improvement. Exporting photos from Lightroom is another aspect that users regularly complain about. So, its again worth comparing the three configurations discussed above. This test involved exporting the same 3. Canon 5. D Mk. II raw photos as JPEG at 1. However, for this series of test all photos had a wide range of develop adjustments, which included local corrections, graduated filters, noise reduction, and lens corrections. Mac. Book Pro 2. 8 GHz Core 2 Duo with 8. GB ram 3. 6 min 2. Mac. Book Pro 2. 3 GHz Core i. GB ram 2. 2 min 4. Mac. Book Pro 2. 3 GHz Core i. GB ram 1. 6 min 3. Figure in brackets is the average time taken to export a single photo. So, as with rendering 1 1 previews, its clear that the 2. Core i. 7 Quad processor enables Lightroom to export photos in less than half the time it takes for the  Core 2 Duo. Obviously, the combination of Quad core technology, hyperthreading and Turbo Boost used by the 2. Intel Core i. 7 processors accounted for the substantial performance improvement over earlier Mac. Book Pros. However, to emphasise the magnitude of the improvement its worth mentioning that the new 2. GHz i. 7 Quad core Mac. Book Pro actually renders 1 1 high quality previews marginally faster than my early 2. Mac Pro 3. 0 GHz 8 core desktop computer, which has 1. GB of ram installed. The improvement over the Mac Pro is likely due to the Turbo Boost technology found in the Core i. Etl Tool Survey 2011 Pdf. This technology allows the processor to run faster than the base operating frequency i. GHz in lieu of 2. GHz when the processor is operating below its specified power and temperature limits. If you want to read more about the Mac. Book Quad then I recommend reading the comprehensive review published by Lloyd Chambers at Mac Performance Guide. I love this quote from Lloyd In short, if your work depends on a Mac. Book Pro in terms of speed, ditch your old model, and dont walk run and get the 2. Mac. Book Pro 2. 3 GHz 1. At this point you may be asking why Ive been chattering on about CPUs and ram. What about SSDs Well, fact is the CPU and ram are effectively the only components that have any significant effect on the time taken to render previews in either the Library or Develop modules, and since this is probably the most time consuming aspect when using Lightroom it would be pretty silly to ignore either when chasing performance improvements. However, with that said, I think its time to look at the impact an SSD will or wont have on performance. To do so I installed a 2. GB OWC Mercury Extreme SSD, which, at time of writing, reputed to be one of the best around, in place of the supplied 5. GB 7. 20. 0 rpm disk drive. The disk drive was moved to the slot normally used for the built in optical drive, thus allowing me to use either as the boot drive. In terms of readwrite performance this SDD was capable of achieving in excess of 2. MBsec whereas the disk drive maxed out at around 1. MBsec. Note since writing the original article hard disk performance has seen marginal improvements whereas  SSDs are capable of 5. MBsec and more e. Mac Pro SSD is in the order of 9. MBsecOWCMercury Extreme Pro SSDWith the SSD installed it was time to look at whether an SSD will provide any significant improvement in preview rendering times in the Library. To do so, I ran a series of tests with the Lightroom application, catalog and previews, camera raw cache, and photos all installed on either the SSD, the conventional disk drive or spread across both. Spreading the application, photos and cache files, etc across multiple drives eliminates readwrite collisions and reduced the load on the CPU. So, I should have seen some benefits for configurations that use at least two drives. Also, and as with the test comparing the two Mac. Book Pros the tests involved importing and rendering high quality 1 1 previews for 3. Canon 5. D Mk. II raw photos. The results of all the speed tests are shown below along with the baseline of everything being installed on the conventional 7. Timeto import and render 1 1 previews for 3. Canon 5. D Mk. II photoshe total import time was in the order of 6 to 7 seconds, and time in brackets is average time taken to import and render 1 1 preview for each photo.
