title: Install Android Studio and SDK on SSD or Mechanical Disk Drive
body: <p>I have just upgraded to a new Intel Core i7 (4th gen) PC featuring a 512gb SSD, about 5TB of mechanical storage,  and 16GB of DDR3 ram.  I am now planning to set up the Android SDK and Android studio. I was wondering, on my old computer the Android SDK,that's with all platforms >= v1.6 (Cupcake), comes in at 22.6gb.
  Therefore, is there  a significant benefit to installing them on the SSD, or would the speed benefits not outweigh the costs of the extra space and writes that would be consumed on the SSD?</p>
