| 1188232 | 2011-03-22 02:58:00 | I've been a bit dubious about the Idea as I still find programs that insist on installing to the C: drive and don't want to have to do any registry hacks to move the default directories for my programs, my documents etc. I think it's a poor windows design that you can't just simply designate these yourself if you wish. With half a dozen games and an otherwise relatively clean install of Win 7 my C: drive is right around 120G used at the moment, includes more than 25G just for wow though which can be just copied to another drive easily so that's a thought. (WOW will happily run from anywhere if you simply copy the whole folder in my experince. I haven't installed it in 3 pc upgrades to date.) I cant remember the last program I installed which wouldn't allow me to change install drive and directory! |

| 1188233 | 2011-03-22 06:00:00 | Yea, it's easier to just decide with each program which drive to install it to, it's pointless changing the default directory, because you still want some of your programs and games on the primary (ssd) drive. Just make a 'program files' folder on the 1tb for the others. :pf1mobmini: |

| 1188234 | 2011-03-22 09:57:00 | I've recently upgraded and included a 60GB Corsair Force F60 SSD in the build. I installed Win 7 Home Premium 64Bit, WoW Cataclysm, and on just those 2 items about 55GB used up! WoW has something like a 30GB footprint these days, so if you're planning on putting other games on the SSD then I would probably spring for 128GB at least. |

| 1188235 | 2011-03-22 21:33:00 | Yeah i would probably only put my steam games on it and leave WoW off. My WoW is currently at 24GB and hasnt been updated since a wee bit after cataclysm update | HamieSam (15245) | ||
