For best results and faster loading of dcs a 10c shall I reinstall Windows on it or keep it as dedicated dcs drive?

ivanwfr Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Yeah, but Boot/VMem on it is nice to have too! It starts/stops your w7-64 rig as a microwave ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cibit Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Put DCS A-10 on it now and it is much improved. That said there is still 50+ Gb left to utilize. Maybe windows would fit too? i5 8600k@5.2Ghz, Asus Prime A Z370, 32Gb DDR4 3000, GTX1080 SC, Oculus Rift CV1, Modded TM Warthog Modded X52 Collective, Jetseat, W10 Pro 64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Adding JTAC Guide //My Vid's//229th AHB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

104th_Crunch Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Put DCS A-10 on it now and it is much improved. That said there is still 50+ Gb left to utilize. Maybe windows would fit too? On my 60GB SSD, I have Win764, FC2 and DCS:BS. I have 20GB left. A-10C I have on a SATA drive. You will be ok to install Win7 and A-10C for sure. You will get better Windows performance for it. Of course it is PITA to do a fresh Win install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyroflash Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) I just got my new SSD working today(120 GB Vertex 3), currently it has W7 64, ArmA 2, DCS, and FC2 on it. They no longer take five minutes to load up, it is amazing. Also make sure you disable the auto defragment option in your task scheduler. Defragging an SSD seriously curbs its operational lifespan. Oh, also, you can leave Win 7 installed on your SSD, it doesn't really hurt loading times as the amount of bandwidth Windows uses is pretty negligible. Space wise however, I wouldn't install Windows on a 64 GB drive, it is just too big. Edited June 2, 2011 by Pyroflash If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.

Dont do that, bold/underlined, as windows 7/vista auto detects a ssd and will not auto defrag it, so leave it enabled so that your other normal mechanical drives get defragged instead.
