Migrating BOX to new drive

[CanadaOne]

My SSD C: drive is getting full and I'd like to put BOX on a new SSD drive. Is there a safest, best way to do this? (I do not have the Steam version.)

 

Thank you.

I just copy pasted the game folder to a new location and it worked fine. You can always leave the old folder there anyway.

I thought there might be more to it than that. Thanks.

 

But I can't leave it on the C: drive, getting too full. I'm looking at a small (128GB) NVME drive for around $50. That might be a nice place to stick BOX all by it's lonesome, nice and clean and fast.

Can confirm that simply moving the files works fine. Might want to make a copy of your input folder in case something goes wrong though.

Excellent. Thank you.

 

Getting another SSD instead of a small nvme. More practical.

hi sir

if I may do a suggestion, some people with 2 SSD or more, install the OS  with the paging file on a different SSD of the games so that could help for data access performances,

that said, I just have 1 SSD now and I did not dig out much for infos on this but it may worth for you.

good day!

Howdy,

 

I appreciate that, but I also don't know what it means. I'm not that bright sometimes.

 

I think I'll keep BOX on my 256GB SSD C: drive and switch DCS over to the new 500GB SSD D: drive. Getting DCS (100GB+) off the main drive will free up a ton of room.

hi, my bad sir, 

 

while you play a game(or a sim) the game itself and the operating system (window) may sometimes both need to access data on your hard drive at the same time,

So if you have these on 2 different SSD   both can access data  independently on both SSD at the same time .  Does not mean you can automatically see a difference, specially if you got lot of RAM,  but you got nothing to loose but better latencies (performances) to gain,  so why not ?

 

Ideally windows on your smallest SSD,    il-2 and all your other games or software's (that you need max speed) on your larger SSD

 

good night CanadaOne
