August 31, 201114 yr Realize the question's been asked before, but I'd like advice for my specific system. I've got a Samsung 64 GB SSD and a 1T WD Black HD. Where would you put: OS, FSX, ADDon aircraft, ADDON scenerey, ASE, UTX, RC, etc? Also, say Santa brings me a 128 SATA III SSD for Xmas to add to the other two, how would my configuration change. And doesn't some of this stuff have to go into the FSX folder-aircraft & scenery? Thanks Dan Cole Dan Cole
August 31, 201114 yr Okay, with the 128GB SATAIII SSD: 128 SSD: FSX Addon AC & Airports 64GB SSD: Windows and major programs (Antivirus for example)1TB: UTX REX GEX ASE RC photoscenery, mesh, terrain, textures etc all the big addons W/Out 128GB: OS on the SSD, FSX on the 1TB Di Agron Dell XPS 15 L502X | Intel i5-2540m @ 2.60GHz | 4GB DDR3 1333MHz (2x2GB) | nVidia GT525M | Seagate 500GB 7200RPM | 15" 1366x768 | 23" LG 1360x768 | Got a hardware question?

August 31, 201114 yr Moderator with just two - put the OS on the SSD. Put all else on the HDD. Might create a partition just for FSX and the rest for Storage/add-ons. If Santa is good to you - move the FSX install to the bigger SSD - be sure to keep the same drive and folder structure and you'll have no problem. Keep your add-ons and storage on the HDD Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160
August 31, 201114 yr I agree with NGX... Some addons you'll have to install with FSX, like Orbx for example. But most of the other ones you can install on a separate drive. FWIW I use a 120GB SSD for FSX + addons (all my scenery addons are off drive except orbx PNW and NRM). I currently have 63GB free of 111GB total. I have a ton of payware planes (currently about 12 installed), Orbx, plus FSDT airports and FlyTampa airports (6 total). | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
