    Question

    I'm new here and not wanting to derail/hijack the thread, but I have a question for my build I'm working on for 5 boxing for WoW when Cataclysm comes out. Wanting a SSD for WoW and windows 7, planning on running the other WoW clients off of a Western Digital Caviar Black HDD (1 TB). I want to know what size SSD to buy for just Windows 7 and my main WoW client. The price per Gb on the drives is still crazy expensive and hoping they'll drop sometime soon. Thanks in advance for any input!

    not sure about Windows 7's size, but I think 60 gigs would be enough.

    So you're going to run 1 WoW from the SSD and the other 4 [I'm guessing] using separate folders on a WD 1TB Black? I think this would defeat the purpose, no?

    Already have the WD caviar purchased and originally intended it to be my mass storage drive. Guess I'd be better off getting another slightly larger ssd for the other wow folders, but trying to keep this build slightly within a budget. My main question has been answered and I'm really grateful for the help, but now looks like I'm gonna have to throw in another ssd, lol.

    Just curious as to why you still use multiple WoW folders since it actually hurts performance, I'm sure less noticeable on an SSD but still...
