Nephris1 10 Posted January 4, 2011 Hi folks i update my system with a ssd card now. Primary for the booting system, but i guess around 20gig will be reserved for ArmA2. 20Gig sounds a lot, but a few bigger mods and the limit is pretty fast reached. So my question, is it possible to move @mods to another partition or do i kill the sense of "ArmA2 on ssd" by that, as the access time will be limited to the "normal HDD" (spinpoint F2 EG) again. Due the high prices, i ve to get a 120gb ssd. Are the any other useful expieriences you made with SSD and ArmA2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nephris1 10 Posted January 4, 2011 Well thx for your hint, but i was primary interested in moving mod folders to another location than the ssd and the effect it causes due is access times, when loading those mod files. Means how to swap a modfolder properly and its consequences for the use with a ssd,as the main game is installed on it? Maybe i chose a missleading topic.

Noraf 0 Posted January 4, 2011 well, you might want to try to run those mods on a ramdisk, if you got anough ram. 1'm using a 128gb ssd myself, and got just over 7gb left on the part i've set off for arma2, though i still got plenty of room on the disk, so i can place the mods on it. still, if needed, i can also use a Ramdisk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdjac 19 Posted January 4, 2011 All my mods are on another physical disc than arma. Its cleaner than having them in your Arma 2 folder. I use spirited machines arma launcher to organise them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nephris1 10 Posted January 4, 2011 Did u notice any performance breaks compared to use the modfolder or a mod on the ssd? How did u outsource the modfiles? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johncage 30 Posted January 4, 2011 Buy 600 dollars worth of solid state drives, get 10 percent performance increase. yep, makes sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
