December 17, 201114 yr I am purchasing a system with a 256 GB SSD and 1 TB hard drive.Given the huge size of FS X in terms of GB with all the add ons etc. I would prefer not to use up a good chunk of the SSD for the game. It also makes backup images of the SSD somewhat ponderous.All other things being equal would I expect to see any major difference in FSX performance if I load it onto the hard drive instead of the SSD drive?ThanksGreg Greg Clark

December 17, 201114 yr I have a 2TB HD and an SSD that is used as a cache which translates into a very smooth sim experience IMO. \Robert Hamlich/

Consider the many laptops that are sold today with only an SSD and no HDD.Cheers,- jahman.
