SSD dedicated to "ArmA 2"

It just occurred to me that one of the suggestions I've read for the game is to defrag the hard drive. Therefore, is it preferable to have a dedicated H.D.D for the game? Furthermore, would a SSD be the most apt given it is meant to be the fastest?

I haven't seen much increase in speed (loading stuff etc) since moving my ArmA2 install to SSD, but it does remove the need to defrag it. If you don't use a SSD, then you must defrag it, especially after installing a patch. If you get a defrag program like Ultimate Defrag, you can specify certain files to be placed on the fastest part of the hard drive, like PBO files for example.

a ssd will help, but it should not be necessary to dedicate it to arma2. You can safely install your OS on it in sense of performance.

Please search before posting. We have numerous threads about SSDs for ArmA2 already.
