Dedicated HDD for Temp Files?
Supposedly moving the page file to a dedicated physical hard disk will increase overall speed since the I/O subsystem no longer has to contend for access to operating system files and the pagefile on the same disk.
Would moving the Windows temp files (not just the Internet Temp files, but the actual Windows Temp folder also) to a dedicated drive provide a similar performance gain?
Thinking about testing these theories since smaller storage HDD's are fairly inexpensive nowadays. Not yet sure what to compare to determine the results.
Your thoughts?
