Any problems with OS only SSDs?

[mielke22x]

I purchases a 60GB OCZ SSD off of Newegg a few weeks back on sales using it specifically for the operating system. I went through the process of moving the users folder over to a different drive but am wondering if problems will happens if I do the same with program files. The document I have for moving the folders, says to do it during the windows7 install, so that no registry settings have to be changed. I was recently told that certain programs(like windows updates) we install into a program files folder on your main drive NO MATTER WHAT.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with changing the program files directories in Windows7 and if they've noticed any problems.

The real issue in this thread, is why are you doing this? It makes no sense at all to do what you are doing.

Don't do it. Program files have ties into your windows directory.

If you want to avoid problems, do a clean OS install and then re-install your programs individually.

I wouldn't bother. I have the 60GB and it's fine. I have my Windows 7 Ultimate install with Office 2010 Professional Plus and all my favorite programs installed and I still have ~25GB free. Disable hibernation.

Any programs that take lots of space that I don't necessarily care to have the speed advantage of SSD, I keep on my WD Black.

Don't save all your documents, pictures, music, videos, etc to your SSD.
