OS on Samsung or WD? (Read 198 times)

I just buy this Wester Digital 1 tb disk 32 mb cache 3 gb/s, and now made two partition:

No. 1 with 250 G for OSXP 64
No. 2 with abt. 700 G for FS Sim X

I have other disk - Samsung HD 501 - 500 G 16 Mb cache with nohting on.

What if I put OS on Samsung, and keep FSX alone on WD?
Will perform faster, or better keep two partition on the WD Black?

Thanks for help.

FSX runs fine... the problem
is you or your system

2 drives and never put a performance application that requires the highest speed access possible on a 2nd partition, ever

2nd partitions are for dead storage and backups.. 1st partitions on phyical drives are for the OS and the applications which have a high storage system demand, and FSX will definitely run worse having a hard drive head physically seek across a OS to find the files on a 2nd/3rd partition.

you would be better off installing FSX to C with the OS than putting it on a 2nd partition. None the less, the best way to run FSX is on its own drive
