Jasoon 9 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Im thinking of getting a SSD for running windows 7 and emby off, would i see much of a speed increase and is it worth it? Im looking at getting a 120gb SSD possibly something like :- http://www.ebuyer.com/709697-sandisk-plus-120gb-sataiii-2-5inch-ssd-sdssda-120g-g25 All my movies will be on normal hard drives but i was thinking that if i have emby and emby theater on the SSD it might speed things up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathsquirrel 741 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I saw a significant boost in emby's web page serving performance moving it and the os to a SSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5055 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Would moving images/metadata to where Emby is installed with the OS on a SSD be faster also then? Right now mine are located with the media on my larger drives. I prefer them where they are at, but would consider moving them if it helped.

No. Those items are all cached at multiple levels already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasoon 9 Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Ive went for the 120gb not because of cost but more because its all i need...i hope currently my C: drive is 450gb, 387gb is used but 128gb is music 11gb is pictures and 175gb is video leaving ~73gb which is the OS and programs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
