One of my HDD's died and it was the one with all my games, so now I'm using a WD scorpio blue 500gb that i salvaged out of a dead laptop but its dreadfully slow. I have some games and media and stuff on a home server but I haven't really tried to run a game off of it.
The server is connected to the network through gigabit ethernet but since ethernet is not an option where my computer is, I use 802.11n wifi - would it even be possible to run games off of the server? If it were possible, would it be feasible in terms of latency and speed?
Also, I have an SSD in my laptop and an ssd in my desktop as a boot drive; my Windows 8 laptop only uses 30 gb but my desktop which is windows 7 uses nearly all of my 64gb ssd. I've heard that performance can start to slack off once an ssd uses a good majority of its data, is that true? Would it be better if I used the 64gb in my laptop (I don't really use it for anything other than web browsing and lol) and to stick my 120 in my desktop for better performance?
