Hi all, quote:
ORIGINAL: Erik Rutins Yes, works very well on my SSD at home. Main improvement is in loading time, the actual game execution comes down to CPU more than drive access. I heartily recommend using a SSD boot drive though, it speeds up the OS quite significantly. I have a 40GB Intel "Value" SSD, which is nowhere near the high end of SSD performance, but it still blows away a normal hard drive. I keep it for the OS and a few games to make sure I keep free space at 25% or so. Regards, - Erik Modern SSDs and modern OS (like Windows 7) have so called "Trim" command to keep SSD in top shape even after usage! If "Trim" is not enabled in OS then it is all depending on SSD controller (some are better - some are worse). Anyway it is good habit to leave unpartitioned (i.e. not free on partition - it should be unpartitioned free) space for controller to automatically do "housekeeping"... Leo "Apollo11"
