smink1701 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Do you lose any performance if you DL and run BOS from your E drive rather than your C? My E drive is huge so that is where BOS currently lives and it seems to run fine but thought I'd ask. Thanks
Brano Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I do not know but I always keep my "c'' drive only for OS.maybe a habit from very early PC times.It is only partition of harddisk.I would say it makes no difference.
AbortedMan Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 The drive letter designation doesn't matter, it's the actual hardware capabilities of the drive itself that matter. If your "C" drive is an SSD and your "E" is a 7200rpm HDD, your "C" is going to load the game faster.
Foobar Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Depends. Is your E just another partition of the same HDD where even C is part of? Then I would say it doesn't make a difference. When both C and E are different physical HDDs then it is important if both drives are equal or not. And finally, when one of them is a SSD then of course it makes a big difference.
Picchio Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 It obviously depends on your hard disk's specifications.
Streiff Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 None what so ever, except in game startup. Might differ as much as 10 sec before you get into the game.
AndyJWest Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Yup, as Baron says, the hard drive you use is only going to make any difference at startup, unless BoS is doing something that RoF doesn't (which seems unlikely). RoF loads everything it needs at the start of a mission, and shouldn't need to access the HD at all from then on.
Mewt Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 It entirely depends on what your C: and E: drives actually are. Everyone's hardware will be different.
Jaws2002 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I think it only makes a difference in load times. Saying that, I keep my C drive on a 128GB SSD for OS and few apps, demanding games on a second larger SSD. Everything else goes on a large partitioned HDD.
StG2_Manfred Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 It entirely depends on what your C: and E: drives actually are. Everyone's hardware will be different. +1 Additionally the controller could matter, if the HDDs are attached to different ones. SATA 1/2/3, IDE, SCSI...
