Seagate Momentus XT

what is the optimum set up for this?

- should i (can i) reserve some of the ssd 4gb for the page file or something?
- i guess i should put the user folders on the second drive?

Hi chedderslam1976, I would not reserve it.

thanks. is doing twekhounds guide for install worth it? should it be modified? also, are there preferred guides?

The 4GB SSD cache is a read only cache. No tweaks needed as it is done by the firmware.

What are u gonna do with the PC? Games or bit of everything?

I would use the drive for the system + page split/shared with another drive and the programs. And the Document folder would be moved off of this drive.

If u are not a gamer and u have a plenty of the space, than I would partition it to two partitions and move the Doc folder on the second partition.

Doc move help...if needed.
