FSX installed on a separate SSD

Postby jb8853 » Thu Feb 02, 2012 9:21 pm

Hello all, I recently purchased a 120GB Kingston HyperX SSD for FSX alone.
After installing FSX starts fine and runs but quite often when I change planes, location, weather ect. after loading it will be distorted or just a black screen, it still has sound but is unplayable.
I really thought having FSX on a separate SSD was gonna be great but seems I ran into a snag.
Anyone else have similar issues after installing on an SSD?

Core I7-930 OC 3.78GHz
EVGA X58 SLI LE
ASETEK 120MM WATERCOOLER
6GB A-Data DDR3
Galaxy GeForce 465 GTX

I've got FSX and its add-ons installed all on a single OCZ 120GB Vertex 3 series SSD and no problems. Runs nice and quick with good load rates and only the rare blurry here and there.

It does sound like you've got either a cache issue or a data transfer issue. Is it USB or SATA?
