OK just to add to this, I decided to test a RAM disk and running SC from there with all data etc. being stored on it. I made a 3GB RAM disk using AMD's free Radeon RAM Disk software, and replay backtests altering 3 parameters per test, are running at essentially identical speeds as running from the SSD (I'm using Sierra Chart Back Tester and it reports the # of backtests/hour). Too bad, I was hopeful that there would be a meaningful bump in speed but it looks like at best it's maybe a 2% difference. EDIT: Interestingly, after running for a number of hours on the RAM disk, it is now cranking along at around a 6% improvement vs. using the SSD. That's starting to get significant.
