Which SSD/HDD to to install BMS 4.33
-
What size is 4.33 after install?
-
5.5Gig

Ok, thanks guys. Appreciate the input.

Must be nice to have that sort of spare cash.
…very nice indeed, but I’m building a full cockpit tub at present, so the feeling is generally short lived.

I dont know if my way is best but it works really nice.
First SSD = Win10 64 bit installed, this drive is only for operating system
Second SSD = for Falcon and other sim’s , this drive only for simulation games.
Third SSD = for programs and other games
Finally HDD for everything else, my shadowplay records here etc…
BMS runs great, no stutters or anything.

If you have the ability with your MOBO, I’d put the OS on an M.2 SSD…that’s faster…I’d abandoned that idea myself because I’d read things about M.2 SSDs being prone to overheating, but with the approach you’re using that may be a fair solution as far as just hosting the OS goes. And I may re-think my own build - still planning to grab a 1 TB Samsung 850 Pro to hold my software.

Your SSD will out-live your system. The weak point is the rotating hard drive. I wouldn’t use it for anything other than backup storage.

Yes, my oldest SSD is 7 years old now and still going strong Everyday OS drive in our second computer and even index system is in use

my first ssd died after 2-3 years.

Three SSDs ……that’s just plain opulence. :mrgreen:
PS: “no stutters” ?
I guess Haukka’s setup is similar to mine:
-
First SSD (60GB) came with the new gaming rig a few years ago (60GB), plus an old 500GB SATA drive I had lying around
-
Second SSD followed a year later (120GB) and was used for BMS and rFactor2
-
Third SSD (250GB) was purchased the weekend 4.33 hit the virtual shelves… I just knew I had to get more SSD space
Cheers, Uwe

Its interesting that the design/construction characteristics are such that the larger they are the better the performance.
I must admit to having a desire for a 250/512 Meg Stainless Steel Drive.
