To make your
IOPS more manageable, try this trick with a bit of money.
- Buy a SSD (64 or 128GB is plenty).
- Install Windows 7 64-bit on it, or image it over if it is smaller than the SSD.
- After Windows 7 is installed, go to Start -> [Username], right click on all options from Contacts to Searches and change the following:
- Right Click and click on Properties
- Go to the "Location" tab.
- Click Move and give each folder a location off the SSD.
This will keep the SSD from filling up and also boost your IOPS performance significantly, putting the operating system's IOPS onto a fast drive and keeping your games off the primary.
Install all programs OFF the SSD on the other drive and you will have a very happy, very fast computer.
