Takes me 4 seconds to open Photoshop CS3, with an SSD.
I don't game, but as I understand it, SSDs don't help gaming performance. Your games WILL load faster if on the SSD, but not perform better once loaded.

So many conflicting opinions about defragging! I've heard opinions from computer techies, from one extreme to the other.
I've heard some say it's actually harmful for your hard drive and completely unnecessary to it's essential to keep your PC running faster and smoother and will actually add...
My System Mechanic says my 3 hard drives need to be defragged. One is my main hard drive, and the other 2 are storage. Can the ones that I use for storage be defragged? I do not want to risk losing anything.
Thanks in advance.:sarc:
