There is also the hybrid approach. Every one of my machines has both a SSD and one or more HDD. Collections of files are separated by random access latency requirements.
Technically even if you only go the SSD route, you are also using an HDD - it is just that the HDD is at Google/Valve/Apple.
- Havoc 14y ago>There is also the hybrid approach. Indeed. My current approach is to use hardlinks for Steam (Which is the only thing that is large & needs to ideally be on the SSD). The way I figure it, HDDs suck at small files so those go on the SSD. Media & gigabyte sized Steam files go onto the HDD & get hardlinked into the steam folder. I wish I knew how Steam treats the gig sized GCF files though. Does it read them primarily sequentially or randomly?
- rogerbinns 14y agoInstall Process Monitor and set a filter for GCF files. You'll have a log of the relevant activity. (I think it can also do CSV export but don't have Windows currently running to check.) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.asp...
