Which HDD to instal on?

Recommended Posts

Hey,

 

So I finally got my new computer (ill post about that soon) and I am ready to install FSX but have a quick question:

 

I have 2 HDD's on my computer, a 500GB HD and a 2TB HD. currently I have Windows 7 Ultimate and all my other non simulation software on the 500GB HD. I dont have anything on the 2TB one except some documents and stuff. So, should I install FSX and all the addons I have (over 15 aircraft addons, a lot of scenery) and I have alot of other software on my wishlist for FSX on the 2TB HD by itself, or the 500GB HD with all the other software.

On the second HDD.

 

Create an "FSX" directory and install it there.

 

FSX runs better on a separate harddrive, and not installed in the default Program Files directory.

So on the 2TB drive... the one just has documents on it? that makes sense to me
