Okay, most of you -- since you're even talking about running WoW on solid memory -- probably already know this, but just in case; no matter what the medium, heavy file fragmentation can also degrade performance. It's a lot more important on conventional hard drives; defragging your WoW folder/installation (and even placing it closer to the beginning of the disk) can improve I/O performance.
Some "game booster" apps will let you defrag single install folders, although a better solution (with more options and better methods) is the popular freeware program "MyDefrag." I'm not too familiar with defragging when it comes to SSD though; I hear there are right and wrong ways to do it. |

Running 4 SSDs.
2 as a system, firewall, utilities, programs main/boot raid0 2 as a WoW raid0 and some storage (only things I won't need when using WoW) While they don't achieve the same amazing (unbelievable more like) performance of *that* samsung viral video they do drastically improve load times in crowded areas and stability when you run into a bunch of new textures. Therefore, I'd strongly recommend a SSD for running WoW but you'll need at least double the size WoW is (SSD should be more than 55Gb I think) to avoid the "insufficient disk space" patch day problem. I'd recommend a second SSD for your system and boot files too for better general performance but check how much your WoW experience improves with a dedicated SSD first before adding any more expensive items. I also don't know if you need at least double the space for Windows to run properly. Someone with more knowledge than me could also/has probably either link(ed) an internet guide/resource or describe(d) whether further seperation via different drives for system/boot and program/firewall improves pc performance but that's beyond the scope of my post. |
