After formatting both drives had about 30.1GB of storage space which seemed like a lot of missing space but 30GB of storage space in my pocket (60GB with both) was something cool indeed. With the Intel 32GB SSD I used in the past, the formatted size is 29.7GB so no complaints.
Now on to the gaming. I had Rhiannon Curse of the Four Branches handy for review so I thought I would install it directly to one of the drives and see how that went. The install was flawless and so I got down to gaming. As Rhiannon isn’t all that intensive I didn’t expect it to have a problem and I wasn’t disappointed. Aside from the opening credit video not playing properly the game played without a problem. Several hours of gameplay continued on much the same.
Next I needed a slightly more drive intensive game so I used Unreal Tournament Game of the Year Edition. The nice thing about this game is that it’s pretty much self-contained and portable. So I copied the entire folder onto the drive and started fragging bots. The game was as smooth as ever. Loading times were blistering and my fragging was without hitch or glitch.
