What storage medium are you using?
I was considering putting a video together about the use of RAMDisk, and may have talked myself out of it. However, before I threw it out the window I figured I would see where the community is at in terms of storage hardware for their EQ Titanium client.

PROS: Faster loading times (Maybe slightly faster than my SSD) No random mouse jerking/180 turns while using mouse look Log files are not constantly writing to SSD CONS: The allotted RAM will not be available for use elsewhere. | |||

Thanks for the feedback, Lich!
I used to use RAMDisk back in 2015 for my swarm kiting Bard. I needed it to remove a little stutter that occurred on turns. I haven't used it since, and a lot of what I have been reading is that SSDs have resolved most of the issues. I know back then, I ran EQ on an old HDD and have long since moved entirely over to SSDs. I don't think I experience that same issue (but haven't been on my Bard in yearS) | ||

This poll will close on 7/22. Going to bump this up a bit, even though it seems like folks are almost all on SSD at this point.

Soiled bag (small), 5 lionhide backpacks (large) and a delux tool box (giant). Pretty ghetto but it gets me by. I keep slot 8 unbagged for clickies.
I recently moved my eq install from SSD TO HDD. Haven’t raided with logs on since then. Might not be pretty.

Long term I keep my install on a flash drive. Then I copy those files over to any system I will be playing on. Most still have HDD because they are cheap and I have many spares laying around. Main laptop uses SSD, but I am not sure I will stick with them. HDD have much longer lifespans and they do not die instantly, they give some warning signs for you to backup your data first. Maybe SSD quality is improving. My first couple died within warranty period, but the one I am on currently appears to be much higher quality. (I use Micron SSDs) | |||
