Which drive to use

Post by kerel »

I think about:
C:\ 1TB SSD (Boot/Windows 10) + d:\ 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s (Storage)

I want to place the P3D on C:\ with W10 Is that ok?

Or would it be better, necessary ?, to place P3D on second d:\ drive.

Or one drive for all?

Hello Loek

Yes that's fine.

Prepar3D will work on either drive.

An SSD is best though and what Lockheed Martin strongly recommends for Prepar3D

So I only have to make a directory C:\p3d\ and install p3d 4 in it. C:\ is my ssd. Better than C:\program files ...p3d\

Hello Loek

Both ways are fine and will work perfect.

During the Install process you will have the Option to Install Prepar3D to a different location, You can achieve this by clicking Options and Create and Name a New Folder and Install Prepar3D to the location of your choice

For Example: C\Prepar3D v4

---------------------------


Or you can Install to the default location just like below
