[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 538159, member: 13090"] Yes. Windows, Photoshop and all my other applications (browsers, MS Office, etc.) all reside on C: which is an SSD. Photos and other important data reside on E: which is a physically separate HDD and E: is automatically mirrored on a third, external HDD drive, as backup. This isn't to say data doesn't sometimes live on C: for convenience sake, but simply put: if it's important, it lives on E:. I do this so when the operating system takes a nose dive, and renders the primary drive unbootable, I can reformat and reinstall Windows without losing precious data. Applications can be re-installed, obviously; memories and years of important records can't. [/QUOTE]
