Windows SSD system drive or ReadyBoost on SSD?

Question

Solid State Drives

There is a system Win7
HDD 1TB
SSD 64GB (SPCC Solid State DiskB28)
The main tasks are the development of VS 2012 and Eclipse
Now the system is on the SSD all the software on the HDD, free 9GB Should I move
the system to the HDD and use the SSD for ReadyBoost?
P.S. Should I change Win7 to Win8.

Answer 1

Something you have too little space on the SSD. Disable the hibernate and either remove the swap file or transfer it to a screw (anyway, with 8 gigs of memory, it is not really needed, but it will take up 10-12 gigs by default). And free it from SSD gigs 15-20. And it’s better to install programs on an SSD, at least those that you often use.

Answer 2

My W8 boots noticeably faster from an SSD drive compared to W7.

Answer 3

And how much RAM? If it is enough, then ReadyBoost is not needed, if it is not enough, then you need to buy more RAM.

Answer 4

Server 2008R2, SQL12, TFS12, VS12, Office13, live perfectly on 40 gigs out of 64 Kingston SSDs. 4gb DDR2, 2.2Ghz C2D.
I recommend keeping all the software on the SSD, chrome caches, TEMP, etc.
To free up space, I advise you to remove the c:\windows\installer folder from SSD -> HDD and use the ms junction utility to make a hardlink from c:\windows\installer to the same folder on D:. The installers of all updates live there, and at the moment they occupy 6GB, but you can’t delete them, otherwise a rake will arise with the installation of updates (the old version of the patch, which requires the installer living in this folder, is first deleted)
, you can also move SoftwareDistribution there, for example , and MSOCache can be removed altogether.
Well, yes, periodically clean %TEMP% of the user and the system.
At the same time, the SSD, which is already two years old, promises to live until 2016.
