December 17, 20214 yr Hello Guys, I have dedicated SSD NVMe 1Tb for the MSFS and addons. However the space available is shrinking. I am thinking about buying few HDD to put mainly the scenery on it. My aim is to keep MSFS SSD NVMe, but scenery like Airports/ORBX, etc. on new HDD drives and link it using Addon Linker for MSFS My question is, will I notice a significant decrease in loading times in MSFS booting using these method? Or the booting times does not matter as long as the MSFS is installed on the SSD? Thank you for your help.
December 17, 20214 yr Booting time will be the same because the OS will stay on the SSD... if you refer to MSFS startup time, it will certainly increase. Don't buy a hard disk, buy at least a SATA SSD... even 4 TB are cheap now. 7800X3D | 2x32 GB DDR5-6000 CL32 | RTX 5080 | Alienware OLED 34" | 1 Gbps fiber

Hi, I have a SSD 500 Gb disk for MSFS, but I have also an external Western Digital Black (10 Tb) Game Drive for the add-ons. I think the booting time is not affected by having the add-ons on another (non SSD) drive. To manage what aircraft and scenery I want to fly I have installed MSFS Addon Linker and no problem. Cheers.

December 17, 20214 yr I read somewhere on the official forums that removing default aircraft that you don't use frees up a lot of disk space. Edited December 17, 20214 yr by gb09f 9800X3D | 5080 | 32GB | 2TB NVME | Dell Ultrasharp U3415W 34" | 3440 x 1440 60Hz
