I've been looking to make some adjustments to my HTPC to give it a little more speed with accessing files and navigating the menu. I'm using Windows 7 and will stick with this for the easy of use for Blu-ray playback. Currently the OS and storage are all on a single 1TB 7200 RPM hard drive and I wanted some feedback on whether anyone was using a small SSD (say 32GB or 64GB) as their OS drive and using the spindle drives for storage.
Did it make a significant difference in start-up, shutdown, or waking up form sleep mode?
Did you encounter any issue with this setup?
The mobo I have is limited for SATA2, so I'm fine with keeping at that speed unless there is still a better improvement with a SATA3 on this older gear. I'm looking to just do a minor upgrade, so user feedback will help in my decision.
