Everything less than 250 GB can't be recommend. If you want my opinion go for a 500 GB one. Keep in mind that beside P3D your Windows also takes a reasonable amount of space.

MatthewG 2 Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 Thanks Tom! I'll definitely correct that! But in terms of graphics, do you think that this GPU can handle it? Of course, i'm planning to update this GPU in a near future. I forgot to put the SATA 1Tb HD that comes to the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure to have Windows as also P3D installed on an SSD (different drives) and have enough space left to let your P3D grow in the future.

Sure boot up will take 3 seconds longer, but who cares about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickZ 300 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I agree that the SSD is way too small, even for just Windows. Personally I'd switch it for a 250 GB or even 500 GB SSD for just Windows, and then put another 500 GB or even better a 750 GB SSD in it for P3D. The HDD can then be used for storage, anything you don't need speed for. Putting Windows on the HDD might still slow things down a little. For example P3D has it's add-ons folder located in My Documents, which is on the system drive. Of course you can manually switch this to another folder when installing add-ons (I always do that, never use the folder P3D has made for it) but it's not an ideal situation. Besides, some system files are also being used for P3D. It's better than having P3D entirely on a HDD, but as I said there might still be a few glitches.
