    You don't really have to mess around boot order in bios. every motherboard has SATA plugs for first and second boot. SATA 0 indicated on a motherboard is the first boot. SATA 1 is for the second boot. All you have to do is to figure out which one goes in for which drive. it reduces the complication.

    If you hook up an SSD, just go into the BIOS settings and put it at the top of your boot sequence. Once you have your OS installed, you'll boot off of your SSD instead of your normal HDD. Your old hard drive will just be a drive letter, and your programs will have to be reinstalled on the new SSD, however the program files from your HDD will still be available. All the data (pictures, music, videos etc. will also be located on your old HDD.

    So to get things like games and adobe editing programs to boot up faster would I get an SSD as a boot drive, and store all of said games and video/photo editing programs on an HDD? I'm a bit confused here and about to try and get into this. I would think I need to install the games and programs on the SSD to see the speed boosts, but can the SSD boot things up that have been downloaded and stored on my HDD, and if so does it affect the speed of the boot-up? I am a bit of a noob I apologize.

  • @magicbjorn

    7 жыл бұрын

    The main reason to get an SSD are indeed the speeds. But, in order to get that speed, you need to install the program and store al its files onto the SSD in it's entirety. If you install the program on the SSD and store the files it uses on the HDD, you get a program that boots very fast, but loading the files (and saving / rendering) will be downscaled to the speed of the HDD. To take your Adobe editing programs as an example: If you install Adobe After Effects on your SSD, but store all your video, sound, effects, etc. files on your HDD, After Effects will start up very quickly. Adding filters, motion tracking, etc. is very responsive, but when you're done editing, and are going to render the video, it will be slowed down, because the files it uses to render the video are on the slower HDD. To clarify some things from your comments: You don't need to set the SSD as a boot drive, in order for programs to load faster. You can have your windows on an HDD, but your programs on your SSD. Your hard drive does NOT handle booting programs. That's a task for your CPU (in combination with RAM, or sometimes called "internal memory"). You get more speed from an SSD when loading programs, because the SSD can transmit data much faster to the CPU, than an HDD does. That's why SSD is so much faster. I hope this helps you. If you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask! You don't have to apologise, just because you're just getting into these things. Everybody started from the bottom, and worked their way up by asking these kinds of questions. Ask away, and you will learn! And perhaps you will help a beginner in the future ;)!

    What a wonderful response! Really, thank you so much! So it seems like an inexpensive way to see faster boot speeds when using things like After Effects, Premiere Pro, Animate CC would be to purchase a decent amount of RAM? The CPU I recently purchased is an i7-6800K so when I am ready to fully upgrade my PC, I don't think that will cause any problems. I only use 8GB of RAM but after this I am now thinking of doubling that. From what you're saying about the boot drive/storage drive set-up, it also seems like setting up an SSD as a boot drive would help gamers with huge game libraries with boot up times for games, but since I don't exclusively game, would removing the HDD element entirely and just purchasing a large 1-1.2TB SSD to keep everything on (and maybe an external hard drive to archive completed projects) be the ideal solution? Thank you again for taking the time to help me!

    +DtC the most important component for video editing is your graphics card. That component defines the speed of the render. AfterHDDAfter that come the CPU/RAM. If it is not too expensive, more RAM is always good. I would not buy a 1TB SSD. One 250GB or 2 120GB drives in RAID0, but that last option is a bit more advanced. The reason? Money. A 1TB SSD is way more expensive than buying a 250GB SSD and a 1TB HDD

    I agree with everything you said besides the graphics card being the reason for faster render times. Your CPU cores is what boost decreases your rendering times. I have experimented with this. My current computer has a better graphic card than my last computer even more ram but is slower to render videos because my last computer had a better processor. This is from Sony Vegas. Maybe other programs might utilize cuda better but for the most part Sony Vegas utilizes the processor more than it does the graphic card.

    Another great option is too buy a 500 SSD use that for rendering and stuff then once you already made the video you can transfer it to your HDD just for storage. I like to keep my old videos so thats a great way to do it. Instead of using up your expensive SSD. The magic guy gave some great advice though but yea dont buy a 1TB ssd drive thats crazy expensive

    another alternave for setting a defauilt folder to external storage C:\users\youruseraccount then right click on the folder of your choice (music for example) click properties, click on location and then move, navigate to the folder of your choice and then voila, you have changed the loacation I also recommend moving your temporary folder to the external device as well and take advantage of the TRIM feature on your SSD

    When I bought my machine about a year ago I was told by Best Buy it just couldn't be done! I dug through so much information and lo and behold I kept getting your video, but it wasn't clicking at first (I'm 58 years old so you were really going at it pretty fast) but slowly and surely I actually did it. If it wasn't for your video I would never in a million years been able to do it and I have very severe ADHD so learning is a huge challenge. Thank you for helping do something that I was told would be impossible to do, in the back of my mind though I never accepted the answer. All the best to you and great job!! I feel so proud being able to have done it and you were my partner in crime. Thank you sincerely for the post, you boosted my self esteem immensely.

    If you want to keep your files, use a data migration tool to clone over your files to your ssd. If you have a Samsung SSD, that software should be provided for you in the included CD. If not, a good tool is EasyUs Todo Backup. Otherwise, I usually install the OS on the SSD first then clean the HDD through command line later.

    I found that it is a similar process. Right click on the windows icon to see the management options such as disk management and computer management. To move files such as music you right click and select properties then to location in the properties panel at the top, from here you can move it to your other drive.
