Which Drive for FSX

Recommended Posts

I have just ordered a new computer for running FSX. it will have as first drive a 500GB EVO SSD and as second drive a Seagate 1000GB SSHD Hybrid Drive.  I am told by a relative who is a computer programmer that both WIN 7 64 and FSX should be installed on the SSD and all other stuff on the second SSHD drive. 

 

I have read that FSX and Windows should be on seperate drives with WIndows on the SSD and FSX on the second SSHD drive.  WHat do the forum experts think?

Although I will agree with Paul's recommendations, personally, I installed the Win7 64-bit OS on a Samsung EVO PRO 256Gb SSD as well as the FSX Gold as I had space. Not suffered any drawbacks for doing that. However, I have since installed FSX-SE on a separate drive.
