I have 1 TB SSD on my current machine, and it has been useful. I'm also about to go from a mid-2015 MacBook Pro to one of the new ones, I haven't finished thinking it through yet, but I will probably get 1 TB SSD and 32GB RAM. You have to make the decision about how big they are now. If you were also running several other CC apps at the same time I can see how 32GB would be better than 16GB, or that between them all they may benefit from more internal SSD space.īut about the RAM and the SSD on the newer MacBook Pros, they are apparently soldered onto the motherboard. The others here can answer about InDesign specific needs, though at 256GB and 16GB you have 100x the storage requirement and 8x the RAM requirement. Otherwise, the speed of the drive becomes the bottleneck and the faster connection won't help much. If you want better speed, you can get a USB-C (3.1) or Thunderbolt 3 drive but make sure the drive is a SSD too. You can work with a 512 GB as long as you off-load and archive jobs when they are finished. I have the 1 TB SSD drive on my system-a good investment. Take it out and if the problem does not go away, bring the computer in without the added RAM.) (And easier if you need to bring the computer in for repair-the first thing a tech will blame is third-party RAM. That makes it easier to install another 16 GB later. However, if you just order it online, Apple will install two 8 GB chips I go to the Apple store and request/require it be a single 16 GB chip. If you want to save money on RAM, get the 16 GB and put in your own RAM. Few people ever complained about having too much RAM.Ħ4-bit software programs don't automatically use all the RAM, they are just capable of accessing the RAM if necessary.
