Greetings-
I need some advice. Have you got a fairly recent, high-end type PC with an SSD? I need suggestions....
I'm building a really nice PC. Spiffy new GTX-980, "enthusiast" mobo, a screaming Haswell, 16M hot RAM, etc. I'm hoping to turn everything up to eleven, right? So, to do that I'm also putting in a 256Gb SSD in the box. I've looked at the sizes of the folders containing my FSX and X-Plane, with a lot of addon aircraft and heaps of detailed aftermarket scenery. I'll lose a chunk of that 256 just for the OS, and I hope to take best advantage of what's left.
So, the thing I'm wonderin' is, must I have ALL of FSX and X-Plane on the SSD, or can I just put those sub-folders that hold the most-often-accessed scenery and a/c on it? I'd like to put only those things that account for the most reads on the fast drive, right? Is it even possible to have a sim split onto two different drives? Enquiring minds wanna know.
So, if you've installed your FSX/X-Plane on a system sorta like this, how'd you do it? What makes the most sense when you're trying to get the mostest from the hardware? I may have to get a second SSD in a month or three, as finances permit, but it'd please the 'ol lady if I didn't need to.
What do you think?
