How to minimize write to C Drive?
I've been using SSD Life to track read and written data to my C drive, (90GB Corsair Force). Apparently it only reads in 64gb blocks, so I got a big shock when the data written jumped from 64gb to 128gb. I suspect it's partly because a game I've been playing (DoW2, Chaos Rising) required at least 1.5gb system paging file on the C drive (won't recognise D drive page file). I've now uninstalled the game despite not completing the campaign because it's the equivalent of smoking for my SSD drive, it's going to kill it.
Some actions I've taken today are: Set paging file to D drive and not C drive, disabled thumbnail cache. The Firefox cache location was changed when OS was installed.
Anyway, what else can I possibly do to minimise writes to the C Drive?
(PS, I want to start by changing where games are saved. It by defaults saves in C:\UserXX\My Documents\My Games DESPITE the actual games being installed on the D drive)(Changing where temp files are saved would also be a bonus)(change appdata folder?)(change user profile location?)
