I'm gonna buy a new computer to run FSX and play other games like Dirt 2, Battlefield and so on...

Obviously, I will use a lot of add-ons like aerosoft's airports, carenado's planes, PMDG's planes, Level D 767, CaptainSim 757, 737 PIC, megascenery, FSDreamTeam, ORBX, REX2.0, Active Sky, Ultimate Terrain (Europe & America), FlyTampa's sceneries, Flight Enviroment X and much other add-ons.

 

I'm thinking of buying a OCZ Vertex 2 SSD 120GBs. Do you think 120GBs are enough for FSX and all its add-ons?

 

Later, I'll buy another SSD to run Windows 7 64bit on it.

 

Many thanks in advance!!!

Marco,

It really depends - an FSX folder can grow very quickly once you start adding in big scenery addons such as FSGlobal or similar. You SHOULD be fine with a 120GB SSD if it's solely for FS and not a system drive as well...

You will need approx 24gig for win7 let alone anything else.

 

My advice by yourself two 750gig Western digital sata drives with 10,000rpm and they will be sufficient for all your needs.

Thank you!

 

I think I'll buy a c300 128GB only for FSX. Later I will buy a 40GB or a 64GB SSD only for Win7, and the 1TB HD will be used only for starage and other games and programs.

Get two 100GB SSD's for Windows and FSX and RAID them, then get a WD Velociraptor or Black HDD for other games.

I run Win7, FSX, REX, UTX and several add-on aircraft on an 80 GB SSD. I'm almost out of space, though. I should think you'd be fine with a 120.
