So, finally decided to splash out some cash for a 60 GB SSD (OCZ Tech).
I mainly bought it with RS II in my mind, as the load times bw Campaign map and Battle map get a bit tedious.
Ran a (very) simple test:
Loading the campaign file (UAC 618 W)
SSD: 28.7 sec
HDD: 58.4 sec
Loading the Battle map (random smallish battle):
SSD: 14.9 sec
HDD: 33.8 sec
Exiting a battle, loading the Campaign map again:
SSD: 27.5 sec
HDD: 42.1 sec
A tad disappointed, to be honest.
I was sort of hoping to buzz in and out between maps in say 5 to 10 sec per piece. I have a 2.6 MHz rig with W7 64b.
Thought I'd share this. Anyone having better luck re. load times?
