Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

Gonna go with SSD for my new machine - it will have a regular hdd in there for recording purposes - but my question is, anyone currently run elite from their root ssd? Not to bothered about failures as nothing of any importance will be on the pc - docs, photos, work etc will be on my other PC, and at £30 for an SSD... It's pretty much disposable

Thoughts please

I only have ssd's now due to the highly reasonably price. I run a monthly backup of the system. No issues at all.

I run it from my root SSD. It's the only game on it. Never had any issues.

I have all my games on a separate hdd dedicated for games, and operating systems on ssd. This is mostly because of a large steam library that takes space (1tb now).
I don't think that having ED on ssd would benefit that much, I'm assuming that the startup time will be lot shorter with ssd, but while playing the game I don't think you'll notice the difference.

I have an almost identical Setup. Operating system on SSD with ED and games and all on a separate HD

Games and OS on SSD here, but did raid1 mirror. Shadowplay, itunes library and swap file on HDD.
I know you could raid0 for performance, but would prefer to have another copy to disable one on failure or corruption, though most SSDs are a lot more reliable these days.

I have something similar: OS and programs on SSD, all data on a standard HD. I get very good startup times.

I've had no problems with ED, but have had to upsize once and will have to again to accommodate the amount of software that I seem to be ever accumulating.

And it's all vital.

Have Ed and windows on one 250gb ssd other games I have on a 500gb ssd and other crap on a 3tb hd. Never had any issues with any of them tbh

Thanks for the replies

ED and Fallout 4 on SSD and rest on normal HDD.....

4TB in box......3Tb back up.....4TB cloud and backup......

And they are all getting full...So much so my system is bottle necking abit.....Might whack another SSD just for the OS
