Can't you move the swap and hibernation files on the other bigger and slower disk? Since you are not going to use them too much, I don't see any point on keeping them on the fast disk.
- barrkel 17y agoOh, I've already done that for the page file, and I just disabled hibernation. I actually meant completing an installation, not post-optimization - you can cut down on the total use by moving directories to another drive and linking to them with junctions, and I have done that to cut it down - but the Windows directory alone takes up 14G, and I wouldn't rush to mess with its internals: ~$ time du -cs /c/Windows 14G /c/Windows 14G total real 0m32.853s user 0m6.255s sys 0m22.682s This is Cygwin du running cold (as cold as the Windows directory gets) and it was CPU limited on a Core i7 920 @ 3.6GHz. There are just shy of 90,000 files in my Windows dir. A second (=> warm) run completed in 28 seconds; the Intel SSD is very fast for random reads, and I highly recommend it. Most of the other brand SSDs have higher contiguous throughput, but the Intel usually beats them easily on random access.
