July 19, 20178 yr Commercial Member Hi all, Tomorrow I get a m.2 Samsunbg 960 500GB. My current set up is two samsung 'regular' ssds. - 1TB and 512GB. Whats the best set up here? I was thinking m.2 Windows 10 /pictures/videos etc. 1TB SSd for Steam Games 500GB SSD for P3D. Or will i see significant boosts to performance by having the sim on the m.2 drive 6700k @ 4.5 GTX980ti Alex Alex Ridge Join Fswakevortex here! YOUTUBE and FACEBOOK
July 23, 20178 yr I just got that same drive. I have kind of changed my stance on installing P3D on a separate drive , because well, P3D is going to dump a ton of stuff on your C: drive no matter what (program data/docs folder/appdata etc). I would install P3D on C: ..... but outside of program files to limit the impact of UAC and file permissions issues. That new m.2 is significantly faster so if you fly fast in say the F-22 it will keep up with no stutters at all - if you fly low n slow, terrain paging will not be an issue, so drive speed wouldn't matter. The sim loads in seconds though, everything loads super fast. Steve McNitt
