@CaptainMarc one cannot alter the cache file destination for the Queue Manager, it is always on your main drive
No, it's not. Launching QM creates folders QueueManager and QueueManagerSingleInstanceCheck in my Temp folder. In Windows System settings (not in Poser) I've directed the TMP and TEMP variables to B: which is my RAMdrive. My startup script creates a AppdataTemp folder in there, some programs cannot do that themselves (eg PhotoShop)
First this gets temp data away from my SSD, second the RAM drive is always dumped at shutdown/startup, so it saves me a lot of cleaning up. Speed bonus comes as an extra.
@shvrdavid: SSD's have infinite read capacity, and handle 10.000 writes to the same spot. But as long as you don't use them for temps and continuously written log files, all is fine.
My 256GB Crucial M4 gives me a 200MB-write 500MB-read, my 2TB HDD's give a 125MB-w/r each (got about 9 of them).
have fun.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
visit www.aRtBeeWeb.nl (works) or Missing Manuals (tutorials & reviews) - both need an update though
