Where should you store your benchmarking software?

[Sean_34]

I've tried Googling this question but just get results about benchmarking your SSD.

Does it affect your benchmarking scores to store 3DMark11, Benchmark Valley, etc on your mass storage HDD? I know you place your most used applications and games on your SSD to cut down load times, so I was wondering the same about BM'ing tools.

Thanks

I doubt it would make much of a difference, but the SSD would logically be the better choice.
(You can always run the test twice and let us know, in case someone else has the same question)

Never thought about this question before, but I honestly don't think it matters what type of drive you store it on as it will load fully before running.
