Loading only the Poser progam on the boot drive takes less than 2.5Gb for Poser 2012 (64bit) which is not too much considering a 250Gb SSD is not that expensive these days.

Most peoples runtimes would be far to big for an SSD but a large number of users have external runtimes anyway.  My runtimes are sat on a conventional 1Tb drive which is the one accelerated by the second SSD.  Each drive is backed individually to a second PC and a another 2Tb external drive allowing either the boot image of full runtime to be copied to another drive with realtive ease.  The full runtime backup also helps when building or buying a new computer.

SSDs are still expensive compared with conventional drives but I bet it is only a small cost compared with what some Poser users spend on content in a year.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
