SSD Question

[iVVChewy9141VVi]

Does Anyone here not move there "My Documents, My Pictures and so on" off the SSD?

 

Looking at doing a SSD Setup like this

 

1TB SSD- Operation System and Programs

 

1TB SSD- DCS World

 

1TB SSD- Steam

I don't because I don't use any of those default folders at all. A few programs do, by default, but nothing that ends up there is of any significant size. My sim rig only has a 256GB NVME system drive and it is currently more than half empty.

Thanks, Yea i would have it same way it would only have programs that use those folder. Thanks for the help

 

When i read more then half empty. I thought of "Is the glass half full or half empty" LOL

I do about the same as this but with more but smaller drives.

So do I.

[javelina1]

Mine:

- O/S on SSD 1

- DCS on SSD 2

- Dumping ground - HDD

[dburne]

I do the same as well, although my two SSD drives are not quite 1TB each <envious> lol.

[BitMaster]

1st 1x I/O for OS

2nd 1 x I/O for APPS

3rd 1xI/O for streaming/editing etc.if need to run with APP from 2nd I/O channel

 

The idea is to have 1 dedicated I/O channel anytime available, regardless of what other channels or apps are doing.

 

For any APP that runs permanently you want 1 x I/O

 

Modern YT Gamers PC I guess should look like this

OS 1x

Game 1x

Streaming_target_drive 1x

 

then add as many HDDs / NAS as you need for large storage

[joey45]

My 3 SSDs are

 

1- Windows and programs

2 - Game Capture recordings and other stuff

3 - Games

 

X2 External HDDs for po.............. dumping grounds and back ups.

sorry, what you have to add to DCS to make it use 1TB??

Three versions of DCS (with all modules installed three times), lots of skins and other mods, support docs, videos, etc. Though it won't quite make it to 1TB it can grow quite quickly. Skins alone can quickly consume lots of space.

 

EDIT: I forgot to add mod backups to the list.

Unless you're doing other I/O intensive tasks like video rendering, a single 1TB SSD is overkill for Windows + DCS + Steam, even if you have a massive steam library. The only benefit to SSD storage is faster read/write times. Static files, like music, video, game assets that are unneeded at game load, etc. are best stored on a cheap HDD, as there's no performance gained from storing them on an SSD. Also, I can't see how distributing programs across three SSD volumes will make any of them perform more efficiently, any more than it would on 3 HDD volumes. But perhaps you have a RAID setup or some other special configuration that takes advantage of this.

For example VMware with multiple VMs running.

 

Just one example from my workload. I am sure Adobe guys have similar benefits, or cad.
