SSD or HDD?

[Pisces]

If the game needs to load many small files, then SSD is the better place. I too remember much shorted loading times with SSD. If you are short on RAM (hardly the case I expect in 64-bit systems thesedays) then SSD is also better to prevent or lessen virtual memory swapping.

Both, Both are good generally people use SSD for games and the HDD for files, documents, books, movies, pictures and stuff

I agree. I've had slightly better experience with SSD's for SH3, but both should give you good loading times as long as they are new.

Older HDD's gave me poor load times in Silent Hunter 3 campaign mode, but probably because they were absolutely ancient (old pc had drives built in like 1998. )

I installed both Silent Hunters on my SSD. The loading times of SH3 are amazing!

My idea was (with the new PC) using SSD for normal use and HDD for backup and storage.



The new PC specs is in the thread about it
