You can change that at any time. Setting it for photography essentially means that a rebuild has low priority, it will not interrupt your edits.

I'm doing RAID 5. Seems like it won't really be an issue.

If this is RAID 0, then I would use Digital Photography.

This will be used mainly for photo and video editing. My question is, upon setup, I'm asked about optimizing the volume. There are options for Digital Photography, video, etc. 

What does this setting actually do, and what would be best for this application?
