GreasedLanding Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I am going to install P3d on its own SSD drive and use Mytraffic, ORBX (most), Softclouds, a few Carenado aircraft and some other addons. Any recommendations on the drive size? It will be used for P3d only and all zip files and install files will be stored elsewhere.

Clutch Cargo Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I would go with nothing less than a 512. I started with a 128, then to a 256, and now a 512. I am sure I will eventually go with a 1TB when prices drop. You will always be adding stuff so from my experience I would go with the largest drive within your budget.

mallcott Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 256. Can always add a further SSD later, and all the ORBX stuff could then be `offsited` to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I don't care how big a drive you get, it won't be big enough. Eventually. It's the Way of the Simulators. :p Get two, if you can. Heck, keep one in storage until you need it. It won't be long :D Have great flights, and fun days!

Do U mean that I can install Orbx products not in the same SSD with P3D? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
