Hello

Here's my situation. I have an 120GB SSD disc, and a 1TB HDD disc.
On SSD there's my OS (Windows) and things I want to run fast. However I partitoned the 120 gb into Partition 1 which is 36gb for windows, and the rest available is the seocnd partition.

So, CE freezes when trying to process wide-range scans.

Is there a way to make CE utilize HDD disc instead somehow? I checked the settings, but couldn't figure anything out.

Cheers!

settings->scan settings

tick the option "Don't store the temporary scanfiles in the windows tempdir"
then fill in a path on the other drive

(alternatively, you could change the temp folder in the system environment so other applications know to use a different folder as well)

I was just about to delete the post, as I also found it.

I am terribly sorry, I am tired and apparently too lazy to read coherent sentences.

Also appreciate the lightning fast response!

Still...change the system environment for other apps? Would that slow things down on SSD, or rather just preserve it's 'health' by not writing some temp/unnecessary stuff onto it?

More for the health of the SSD.

Sure, it will cause other applications write to disk slower because it will no longer be a SSD.
Will that slowdown be noticeable? Highly unlikely, as apps shouldn't be reading/writing that much.

Thank you, panraven.

Yeah, I'd read similar information on the webs, combined with some research that claimed SSDs often exceed their supposed 'lifespan' by several times.

Still, I remember having to deal with heavy temp folder before, and I'd rather keep it 'prolife'.

But I guess you're right. Any way, case closed, thanks again for replies!
