While I bet SSD would be better, I wouldn't bet on it being any major breakthough.

Any Thunderbolt possibility?
So right now I have an external enclosure connected to my computer via usb3.0. I have 2 8tb wd drives running raid 0 for my plex library and the metadata. My question is would I get faster load times when searching through my library if I got a ssd to store the metadata instead?
Thanks,
Shane
