Increasing Performance by Combining Drives

June 16th, 2017, 12:53

Hello,

The system and all the programs which I use are installed on the same drive. Microsoft Word 2016 stops working and has to restart when autosaving a large file (e.g. 20 mb) on the WD Red drive (5,400 RPM). I did not have this problem on a SeaGate drive with 7,200 RMP.

The two drives can be combined for a better performance of programs and the system. For maximum performance, should I install the system on the 5,400-RPM drive and all the programs on the 7,200-RPM drive or vice versa?
