Windows 8.1 on SSD and data on HDD?

[SeattleROG]

Just unboxed my G750JZ setup in RAID-1 config (personal choice). I bought this computer as a Mac substitue for media work only (video editing, audio production, 3D modeling, etc.) Before I get too far into setting up all my programs and such, I want to setup my Windows User Profile and all data folders (Documents/Downloads/Pictures/Music/etc) on the 1TB HDD. After reviewing maaaaany Microsoft threads on the topic to no avail, I wanted to ask this forum what their best practices were. Doesn't look like an easy fix.

I'm already running 8.1.

I look forward to being part of the community!

Thanks,

E

HomieOC, IDK what is killing the READ's for you... but the rest looks good 🙂

It might be that you have a different model of NGFF M.2, or you have another processes filtering reads slowing things down... if you track it down let us know.

Sorry, can't help with IIS 😞

getting slightly better results after another perfect disc optimisation...

It's going to vary over time, with browser running, with background processes using IO coming in during the run, between optimizations, etc. You don't need to keep watching it daily, every month should be enough. Unless you are trying to find an install that grossly affects performance...
