[QUOTE="KevL, post: 276851, member: 11798"] flash drives are much slower than hard disks (a factor of 2 or so). Also they have a limited number of read write cycles so they might wear out fairly quickly - though newer ones can be used in vista for swap files so maybe lifetime is no longer an issue. I only tried the ram disk thing because it is quiet. My SATA seagate drives are quite noisy and the heads make quite a loud clicking noise. They are also not AAM friendly so the normal slient drive apps dont seem to make any difference. When I'm rich I will buy an SSD but they are really expensive at the moment. Some of the WD drives are noted for being almost silent though seek times are 15mS so they are not fast. Fast enough though for AV files. Kev [/QUOTE]
