August 22, 201312 yr I already have an SSD for both Windows 8 and FSX (120 GB, way too small for both), so am contemplating purchasing a new SSD for FSX only- maybe 250 GB. Still deciding on size. But can anyone recommend a good SSD vendor? Or any to stay away from? I'm looking at New Egg, and most vendor names I see are familiar from the memory product world. Thanks for any ideas, Bruce.

August 22, 201312 yr Samsung I have 3 never had an issue, there's new Samsung ones due out soon in OZ anyway, they are Samsung EVO a 1tb SSD is around $500 for example check http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=210_902_1370&zenid=ce13d3949ce2cb657ea6c3527300f1e4 I have the Pro version not much difference really. Go bigger if you can rather than cheap and small. IMHO WAYNE Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD http://fs2crew.com/banners/Banner_FS2Crew_MJC_Supporter.png Wayne HART
August 22, 201312 yr The PRO version is overkill for FSX, save some money and get the Samsung 840. Bert
August 23, 201312 yr I have Win7 & FSX on a single Samsung 840 500Gb SSD. There will be room for P3D or XPlane 64 whichever I decide to go w/ next ;o) I like having it all on one disk. Since I have everything installed and working well I will put a HDD in my new box and install either Vista 64 or XP 32 in a dual boot configuration, toggled in the BIOS at start up, since I have useable copies of these OS'. I have some other software to run and so this way I can keep my Win7/FSX SSD very free of everything, including anti-virus software & and any other bloatware of any kind. I will put Paragon Disk Suite on the 2nd OS install and clone my SSD to a 500GB HDD I have laying around w/ very few hours on it. That I'm hoping this will be my back up solution should I need to re-clone to another 500Gb SSD in the event of a failure. I understand Paragon can do this task well, though there is some ambiguity about a few issues in cloning from HDD > SSD having to do w/ alignment. I think it will be a non-issue provided I make the clone from the secondary HDD w/ other Windows OS.
