    Default Keeping video/audio off of a Solid State hard drive

    So I have a Solid State hard drive as the C: drive (O/S and programs) of my new PC, and a regular magnetic hard drive as the D: drive (my data).

    The solid state drive is good for O/S and programs because they get written once (or at least very few times) and won't degrade the lifetime of the Flash memory therein.

    But I'm worried about Internet-sourced & viewed video and audio content. That's a lot of data and (potentially) a lot of write cycles. How can I make sure that the 'cache' of video and audio gets put on the D: drive instead of the C: drive?

    Default

    • Create a folder in the destination drive (say E:\TIF)
    • Click Start, Run and type CONTROL INETCPL.CPL
    • In the Temporary Internet Files section, click Settings
    • Click Move Folder button and browse to the target folder
    • Click OK
    • Click Yes, when you see the prompt

    Instructions are different for your internet browser.

    Also, if you are running a SSD, you should look at some of the optimization guides. Here is one for Windows 7...
