Moved some games to my SSD...

Yeah. I moved my Steam directory to the "data" drive, but when I cloned, I had Age of Empires III on my SSD. It doesn't run any better (not exactly a heavy duty title in any case) but it loads SO FREAKIN' FAST NOW!

I wonder what would happen if I reinstalled Rome: Total War on the SSD. I always liked that game and despised the load times.
 
I use an older 256GB Indilinx based SSD (Patriot TorqX) for my game drive. Steam starts up crazy fast.
 
I solved that problem by just unplugging all of my hdds... NWN2 is another title that benefits from very fast storage.
 
Been playing a D2 rip-off Path of Exile recently, had run it exclusively from my Intel 320 drive in my HTPC until this weekend. Loaded it onto my second box, on a WD Blue HDD. Wow. Had no idea how bad the loading times were without an SSD. Moving between zones on SSD is instant, on the HDD it's painfully slow. Like barely see the loading screen on SSD and get tired of looking at it on the HDD.

Might be time to get a second SSD...

Perhaps you should consider a RAM disk.
Click to expand...

Hmm. With an online only game, that might actually work. Move the client onto the RAM disk when wanting to play, no worries about durability over power downs as it's just the client, copy back as needed upon boot up.

Wonder how long it would take to copy onto the RAM disk though?

And, anyone know of a good freebie RAM disk for Windows 7 x64? With higher capacity than 4GB...
