SSD for application only?
I'd like to move to SSD and i'm curious about what differences I would see (if any) between the two configurations below.
1) 40GB SSD for OS, regular HD for everything else
2) 40GB SSD for OS, 40GB SSD for applications, regular HD for everything else
Do you think any differences between these two would be noticeable?
Depends what you mean by "everything else". Office apps? Which ones? Gaming? What sort of game? Development? Databases? VMs? Also, what spec is the rest of the machine, and what OS are you running? – David Spillett – 2010-02-12T18:11:45.200
What kind of applications would these be ? – Sathyajith Bhat – 2010-02-12T18:14:33.447
Well when i say everything else for the first configuration i mean anything that is not installed by the initial OS install. For configuration 2 i mean anything that is not installed by the initial OS install or any applications I may install after that. Basically any saved documents, music, movies etc. The machine will be used for development mostly (Visual Studio and SQL Server), but will also have MS Office apps and some games. I can't tell you exactly which Office apps or games. It will be running Windows 7 and i'm not exactly sure on the specs for the rest of the machine yet. – Abe Miessler – 2010-02-12T18:15:15.927
