I've read some posts where people say that installing your OS on an SSD is a waste of expensive space. They say that what does it really matter if the boot time drops from one minute to 10 seconds - your computer only boots once per session until you shut it down - a better use for it would be for applications you want to run faster.
That is the reason I bought an SSD. I do a lot of video editing and the rendering process can sometimes run an i7 processor for several hours. When i was looking at the resource usage it seemed that the hard disk was also being maxed out and it appeared the hard drive might be a limiting factor. So I'd like to use the SSD for my video editing applications rather than the OS.
Would this be a problem? Everyone seems to be installing their OS on the SSD. I realize that there are some files like the registry files that would still be on the hard drive with the OS - I think - even if I made a new installation of the software on the SSD and deleted the old installation of the video editing software from the HD. Would the scenerio I set out work? What problems would I encounter? Thanks in advance for your help.
