SSD or HD for Win7

The rule of thumb is to minimize programs that write to the SSD, as the
lifespan of these drives is measured in write cycles.

Find every OS resource that needn't be changed -- importantly, forever
& ever, rewrite Windows for its original deviancy from DOS and into
Microsoft's all-encompassing C:\WINDOWS default environmental
containment (SUBST or SHARE were chewed into mince by networking
clouds) -- then take that baby, tag all the files if not better, the
SSD's entire drive's write tag then for READ ONLY, make one
monstrously big NUL file to similarly take up the rest of the drive,
and put a residual normally reserved for conventional manipulations
aside on a platter drive. Rest is just averages across largely read
operations during a two-drive load. Hells bells, Ringo, might only
add a few acceptable seconds to the mantra of 7-sec OS loads, so
highly touted by SSD owners, those whom aren't experiencing any
trouble from clogged electrons in the early scheme of drives
physically differing from direct processor addressed system memory;-
Whilst that lasts -- platters may be headed down the Road of Obsolesce.

Put WoW on your SSD, no question. You will notice the difference a lot
more during game play.

Everytime you change zones, WoW loads the zone off of disk, and you
are comstantly changing zones. The load time is typically 10 to 30
seconds, depending upon the zone, when using a HD. Throw WoW on the
SSD and those load times go down to 1-2 seconds. I cannot emphasise
enough the frequency you are changing zones and how often WoW reads
from the disk.

Hello to all,

Thanks for your answers!
Finally, I installed both W7 and WOW on the SSD, redirecting some
folders on the HD (other programs, documents, temporary files, etc).

The PC works great and is very reactive.
As you said, changing zones in Wow is really fast now.
