New Windows 10 install

[BS Dave]

I'm going to be doing a windows install after the 20h1 update is out, as i've somehow managed to install it in a non UEFI mode which means i need to run in CSM compatibility mode...(but enough of that)

I have 3 SSDs i could install on
128GB 850 Pro
500GB 850 Evo
500GB 950 Pro Nvme

Currently the OS and some of my games/Premiere Pro/Photoshop are on the 950 Pro, with the 850 Evo being additional storage for games or work files.

I 50/50 game and work on computer now, but when Corona is all over it'll be back to more gaming...

I have 32GB DDR4 Ram

Would the ideal be
OS on 128GB 850Pro
Page File and Progs/Any games i play a lot on the 950pro
Other games/video capture scratch on the 850 evo??

Are there any other easy optimisations i can make to make things smoother/snappier?

@Rroff - i saw that posting about this in another thread - it would be great to get your input?

thanks in advance

Dave

Off the top of my head the OS would be better on the 950 Pro I think as it has significantly lower latency than the 850.

OK. And if I got hold of a 2nd Nvme at some point? Split the page file? Not bother?

 

[Rroff]

Splitting the pagefile generally doesn't produce the desired result - the OS will try to schedule over the drives for best performance but in many cases will just end up waiting on the fastest drive if it isn't available over using a slower drive that is available.

Great. Ok thanks for the advice
