August 21, 20205 yr Hi all! I've been reading some other threads, but haven't found an answer, so I'm posting a new thread. (Sorry if I missed this somewhere) I bought a CyberPower computer for MSFS2020. It shipped with a SSD 250GB and a good ol' spinny 1TB sata HD. I just ordered a 1TB PCI NVME of Amazon. Seems like the prices on these are starting to be more reasonable. As I understand, I shouldn't have any issue running all 3, but my question is, would it be better to move MSFS2020 to the NVME, and leave the OS on the SSD? (I don't have discs to reformat, so I'm not sure and haven't researched how to reinstall or move the OS to the new drive) In the old days, back when I built my first computer with multiple sata drives, I ran the OS on one and installed my main programs on the other. Seemed to help, although I never benchmarked to confirm. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks! 🙂 "Thanks for flying Tree Trimmer Airlines!" 🤪 Type of flying: Not overly into the simulation aspects, such as preflight checklists, tower communications, etc. (not yet anyway), but I LOVE a realistic feeling of flying.

August 22, 20205 yr I've run it both ways--OS on SATA SSD+P3D on NVME SSD and vice versa, and it really makes no difference. Not worth the hassle of moving it, IMHO.
