For now I set up my trading PC as Windows 7, primarily because W7 offers on the fly compression and I can compress the old scid files and it saves a ton of space on the SSD. I've tried to find on the fly compression for linux, but so far haven't had any luck. But you give me a good idea because what I could do is put the data files on my 3.5 drive and use a ramdisk to get the speed back, so I am gonna setup a dual boot with linux and see how that works out. My only thought is that I think I would have to keep a second folder of my data that includes the older stuff and redirect SC every time I want to access it. I guess that wouldn't be too difficult. That said, I downloaded the free version of Dataram Ramdisk to play with, it's limited to 4GB, but it works pretty good and can save the image. The full version is $18 and can use up to 64GB, so that's not so bad. I don't see how you can select specific files to load though, so it seems it would have the same issue of having to maintain two data folders. I'll try your free linux idea first though. :) Thanks! |
