Is it possible that the game is installed on SSD and cache is saved to HDD?

Used to be the same. Came to the conclusion that since Asobo has stated from day one that the sim was designed to run with a scenery cache and their best performance and quality is achievable with the default cache, why fight it. I also have stupid fast internet, but my small mind took the, “designed to run from a cache”, to mean…

  1. ask for data from the cache
  2. if data exists provide it. Goto 1 If no data, Goto 3
  3. request new data block for area from server
  4. pass downloaded data to cache, If no cache, pass to sim
  5. Goto 1

If the steps are even remotely correct then it would stand to reason that caching will save steps. Doesn’t cost me anything other than some extra wear on the HDD, which doesn’t owe me any cycles anyway. Plan is to replace them with SSDs as they give out.
