Just read your post again and I see you are using a Surface Pro. You'll need Gene or another Mac expert to suggest what can go, but the best plan is to relocate some things to a second drive.

If it was a Windows system, I'd suggest WinDirStat to see what is clogging the drive, but there is a Mac equivalent.

If you just have the one drive, then you might be able to free up a bunch of space. Or close Photoshop, and if any are left, delete them. If it does not have today's date, delete it. Look for orphaned Photoshop temp files in the root of that drive. How much free space does the primary Scratch drive have? Solve Adobe Photoshop problems and issues by keeping it up-to-date Have you really run out of space, or is there another problem? They are good for 180Mb/s.īut let's take a step back. If you really need to use an external drive for scratch space, look at a USB3 drive that comes with its own power supply, like the Seagate Expansion. I am sure that reading and writing to scratch files is a serious bottleneck, and it gets worse if you use a lot of Smart objects. What is the fastest SD card available? 100Mb/s with the wind behind it, and providing you have a really good card reader. Well as a paying customer I say SCREW THAT! Just one mans opinion here. But now they are relying on community bailouts to do their R&D. Yeah I have a question what if you can't get the program to even finish loading? So you can't change the preferences if the program won't load!.guess what pal you can't get here from here! Are you all even cognizant of the fact your relying on a community to answer your tech questions? My god it is totally up to Adobe to figure out that go figure people are using lager hard drives thanks to 4K, 9k, 18k (will it ever stop) video files that require massive amounts of storage!!! As a community I say the buck stops with Adobe and spend some of our harrd erned dineros to keep up with the technology! Not figuring out partion workarounds.What? For me I'm thinking of loading up my Photoshop 7 to get the work I need to get done.done! I've been using Adobe products for over probably 25 -30 years, when they really were an industry leader.
