How to Optimize your SSD Boot Drive 5 Game and Program Files and the Completed Installation While installing and running your games and programs on your SSD will be quickest, you'll want to determine on a case by case basis which ones are important enough to reside on your SSD. Programs such as Outlook rely on a database file and really benefit from the increased IO of an SSD while most other programs aren't going to see the same level of benefit and basically just take up space. Today's games usually run 5GB or more (Starcraft II takes 10.5GB!). So you're not going to be able to install many games on your boot drive at the same time if you are using a smaller SSD such as the F40 used here. Our Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit installation after using this guide takes up 10.4GB. And once you've installed Outlook 2010 (all files and programs run from disk) your total installation is 13.2GB. This leaves you with 23.9GB of super-fast SSD to get your game on with!
