New ssd

I got a new 256GB ssd, and wondered if to see any benefit do I have to put the operating system on it, or can I just put WoW with the page file?

Would it be better for me to use 1 WoW folder for all 8 accounts to run from?

This is my ssd http://tinyurl.com/cd5jspp

Many thanks

Anything you put on the SSD will benefit from faster loading times, but if you're going to put your games and your OS onto one single drive, you're essentially putting all of your eggs in one basket. Meaning, that if the SSD was to ever fail you are going to lose everything all in one shot, so I would suggest having some sort of HDD attached to the system as well to use as sort of a backup drive (for Interface/WTF folders and whatever else you'd like to keep a copy of).

The general answer is that you'll get more performance from using only one folder, but if the software you're using to multibox with doesn't allow you to virtualize your config.wtf files, then you'll be stuck with the same settings on all of your accounts (unless you manually change them every time you launch your team(s)).

Well, there's always symlinks, which is what I do with HKN. It's rather a hybrid option, but it hasn't done me wrong yet.

Thanks for the help guys :)
