Think this hardware will run ARR smooth?

SSD= Serial Sata Disk?

SSD= Serial Sata Disk?

Solid State Drive. Its because it doesn't have any spinning parts, in simple terms just think of it like a giant RAM (Random Access Memory) brick.

(SSD are slower then RAM btw :P so.. yeah take the comparison loosely :P)

If it does, I sure hope it actually works this time.

I could be making this up but I feel like (awesome assurance.. right? lol) that Yoshi said the reason why it wasnt fixed is because they felt developing extra features to a system that was going to be tossed was wasteful* of their resources and that they rather be as efficient as possible. So who knows if it will be in, but if it is in expect it to work.

* Which is a major reason why new content systems or large scale fixes that weren't utterly necessary never happened.

Can I just install FFXIV on the SSD or would it be better to install windows OS on the SSD as well?? or doesn't matter too much for the OS?

You get the most from you SSD if you install the OS on it. Fast boot times, better program responsiveness (if you install them on the SSD). I can't work on HDD based PCs without feeling irritated at their sluggishness anymore... For FFXIV 1.0, you will also get rid off the microstuttering since SSDs handle small files much better than HDDs.

Overall, pack everything you can on the SSD. If they weren't so expensive, I'd move to SSDs completely.

Newegg had 128GB SSD for $100 bucks for the black friday weekend stuff so I grabbed one, should be arriving soon

Wife is going to kill me.... *again*

Just show her your subligar - works on mine...

(If you (anyone) have any questions http://lmgtfy.com/ ... lol XD, but seriously that I know of there are at least 5 CS majors on the forums and hundreds of computer hobbyists.. so together we can make ARR look sexy and load instantly)

Please dont defrag your SSD though.. :P
