Earlier today I purchased a Kingston SSDNow 200 128gb SSD for use in my laptop and I am just wondering what the best way to install it is.
I am using this drive to supplement the 1TB 5400 rpm storage drive in my laptop.
Also a large reason for my reluctance to move my operating system install is sheer inability to do so. I around 600 gb of files that I have no way to move off of my laptop. I have played around with Homegroups and nitroshare but neither works correctly for me.
A few things.
- I do not generally have issues with the way my laptop boots up or wakes from sleep as it is hardly ever shut off.
-I game ALOT and that is one of the main reasons for purchasing this drive.
-There are also a few miscellaneous programs I use often that I would like to add to my SSD. I also host my own minecraft server which I know will benefit greatly from the increased speed.
My questions.
-Is it worth it to install Windows 7 on my SSD if I very rarely end up restarting my laptop and I am happy with how quickly it wakes up from sleep (near instant anyway once I type my password).
-Can I just use it as a supplemental drive and migrate certain games onto it and leave my windows install on the storage drive? The games I have in mind are Skyrim/BF3/Borderlands/Borderlands2 and World of Warcraft.
-Are there any games notorious for benefitting from being on a SSD?
