My current build has the users folders moved to a separate drive (Y: ) from the boot drive due to the small SSD I could afford at the time (via a registry hack as described here: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/how...ia_storage_ssd). The documents, pics, vids, downloads, music folders are all kept on a separate drive still (Z: ) using the "move location" option in the folder properties.
Now I've bought a larger SSD I was wondering whether there is any reason to try and keep the user files on Y: remote. Presumably I'd get much more response from having them on the fast SSD C: than by offloading them onto the HDD. I would still keep the stuff on z: sitting over there to stop the HDD filling up with saved files. I'm talking about the stuff windows is (Apparently) using when it loads/runs programs' user settings etc.
Given the number of times I clear out the cache files, cookies etc (on browser close), would this adversely affect the SSD in terms of wear by having the temp internet and cookie/history folders on the SSD?
I Can't think of anything else in user files that I'd worry about having on C: versus a separate Y: drive. The Favourites folder maybe I could move to Z: for ease of back-up. And using mkdsk I could do a folder clone of desktop onto Z again for ease of back-up (or rather recovery if the SSD freezes up, as some folk report it might)
Anything else I should consider doing - want to get this thing rebuilt soon and see how fast this new SSD really is. (once I've nailed the radio intereference mentioned in another thread that is).
