SSDs, HDDs and RAMdrives
Bit late joining the SSD club but I finally have one, 120GB, teamed up with a fast 1TB HDD, 8GB RAM and an i5. Win 7 performance is impressive, but thinking about the longer term is there much to be gained by moving the browser caches and Win temp files off of the SSD? Perhaps the paging file too if that's possible? And if so, might it be possible to move them to a RAM drive rather than to the HDD? My usual pattern of use is perfectly happy running in 4GB RAM so would this be an effective way to use the other 4GB? And if any of this is possible are there any pitfalls in going down this road?
My old Win 7 is still running fine so there is no pressure at all to rush the new setup. I'm happy to sit and gather the benefit of your experiences with this sort of thing.
