[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1421630, member: 59143"] The best place for a scratch disk is on a separate partition from the OS. So if you really want optimal performance, either repartition your internal HD, or install another HD. SSD would be best for a new installation. Otherwise, as has already been said, it wouldn't make much of a difference, unless perhaps if it was an Thunderbolt or eSATA drive. Doug [/QUOTE]
