32GB SSD

[Toadster]

So I got this 32GB SSD and I'm wondering if I should install the OS on this SSD and push all my data/apps to a spindle... maybe pulling a few of my key apps to the SSD for higher performance...

thoughts?

I'd go with the OS.

definitely leaning toward that...

i'm wondering though, with 8GB of RAM - I'm going to lose at least 25% of my SSD to the pagefile... has anyone testing removing the pagefile for SSD usage?

WHAT SSD did you get? exact model please, those come in vastly different performance levels (from the atrociously bad, to the stunningly fast)

Well, you've only got three choices. Either use it as your storage drive, use it as your OS drive, or as your game drive. I'd definitely be using it as an OS drive, though. Just make sure to either turn off your page file or at least move it to your mechanical drives.
