It depends what you actually do, but I would recommend the SSD regardless. |

SSD
Won't help with latency related issues tho. Allow me to be frank. You will not like me. You will not like me now, and you will not like men++ a good deal less as we go on. |

I haven't had issues with Eve by using a HDD on my gaming rig, but a SSD would definitely help some load times and such. If you can afford it and aren't killing your space available too much by swapping to a SSD, go for it.

Everything works better on SSD, but I'm running EVE just fine with full settings on a regular HD. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

OS (Win 7 Pro) on the *main* SSD. EVE and other software (e.g. Skyrim) on another SSD. Mechanical 1TB HDD for other stuff. A bit of overkill perhaps, but what the hell. |

I am using an SSD for my operating system. HDD for everything else. Eve is stored on my HDD. But the swap files are so fast with the SSD it is like having 200 gigs of ram. You notice it with multiple clients running. Just make sure you have enough video card(s) to handle your multiple monitors. |

If you don't know why are you buying an SSD? Just to tell us? If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there. |

Eve doesn't particularly rely heavily on the hard drive, but I run an implementation both ways (motor HD on my main pc, SSD on my gaming notebook). The version of Eve on my SSD really is noticeably a little crisper and slightly more responsive, but not by a huge amount. About what I expected. There's real reasons why your Eve character doesn't do /dance. |

I HIGHLY recommend SSD's. I never build a computer without one. They boot your computer up SUPER fast and it will load the EVE client faster as well, but you wont see any boost in game performance.

I forgot to add that EVE on an SSD is really nice when running a small mining op with 4+ accounts. |

Yes, they are indeed.
From a practical perspective, however, most apps don't realize the potential of a SSD beyond initialization. I think I can wait 10s more for my app to load and take the money I would have spent on a SSD and purchase a drive with a better $$/GB ratio. As for booting, hands down SSD is the way to go if you don't want to wait 60 whole seconds for your system to boot. For me, yes still on platters, this only needs to be done after power outages and the odd update requiring reboot. Otherwise, I just sleep the computer and whalaa! SSD boot speeds.
As for Eve, if you're not using resource caching, then yes, SSD will improve performance. But who doesn't have more than enough ram to enable resource caching......for multiple clients? Don't ban me, bro! |

Here's how I imagine these conversations going in local:
anonymous freighter pilot: I just lost another freighter to Goons, how are they so fast?! anonymous goon: Mittens buys us all gaming rigs with ssd's anonymous freighter pilot: GRRR Goons!
Personally, I mainly use a very basic laptop with integrated video and I can still run multiple clients. Not well mind you. But I'm sure the next computers I get will all have ssd's. Even if it doesn't improve your performance for what you use it for right now, if you have the money and it may make sense within the expected time you will use the computer, why not? For PC's, I usually get something where you get the best bang for the buck- looking for best performance without paying ridiculous prices. Then I keep it longer than average, maybe upgrading the video card once before eventually gifting it to a friend or family member who needs a computer but can't afford one.

Running multiple clients on a 256G SSD...
Best spend ever.
Everything else can run of my normal HD... I don't need to run Office from my SSD so only my games and OS runs from on my SSD.

An SSD did nothing to improve load times for me, switching from gate to gate. My system is still limited by network latency and video card speed. I'm not routinely flying in fleets of hundreds of different ship classes, but then when it is a 200ms round trip for every packet ("ship #33 is type #24 with effect #37") it really doesn't matter whether the ship model can be loaded in 20ms or 5ms.
If you have a limited budget, your order of preference should be:
- video card texture memory to >2GB
- system memory to >4GB
- faster video card
- faster CPU
- faster HD
- lower latency Internet
- higher bandwidth Internet
Having a blindingly fast HD is going to be no use to you if your system spends all its time swapping to disk because you don't have enough video and system RAM to hold all the required textures.

AFAIK the bulk of the data EVE needs to load comes from the server, so you can just install it on a HDD without any problem at all. |

Coming fro someone that only has one HDD and 3 SSD, id say put Eve on the HDD.
The inital loading of eve is faster on the SSD, but we talk a bout a few seconds here on something you do maybe 1-5 times a day.
After the inital loading there is just not much happening on your storage device of choise, so id rather use that fast space for something else. |

256Gb SSD for Windows, 64Gb SSD for EVE and everything else runs off a 2TB HDD.
It wasn't planned, just the way things turned out after a system reshuffle. To be honest; I don't notice too much difference between platter and SSD, but if you have the cash there's no reason not to go for it. |

What load times? I`m playing on a 55rpm that's a slow HD drive. The only load time I have is when I run the game and login. That's the only "load time" I have. So is it word to use It on a SSD??? . The question is? Will this speed up the loading in game (docking undocking jumping) the answer is no. |

Remember to buy an SSD with high random 4KByte throughput instead of one with just a high sequential reading performance.
Pages are (multiple of) 4KByte and unless you plan to copy from one high speed drive to another, there will be your biggest performance gain. |

You notice the difference when you are in a situation where the Eve cache is used heavily, like for example in crowded systems. Try to switch on avatars in local and browse the local player list in Jita, with and without an SSD. |

I cloned my RAID-ed SSD (1Tb) back to a 1Tb HHD . The only real difference I noticed was the OS start time. My computer runs 24/7 so OS restarts are few are far between. When 1Tb SSDs (I don't like RAID) became available at a reasonable price I'll clone back again. Amphetimines are your friend.
