    Does anyone have experience with that?

    Right now I installed the core to C: and the mods to D:
    Does it influence the performance?
    Anyone can make a statemant on that topic?

    Should work fine. Not sure it'll make a huge performance difference either way.

    Hello
    I set it up both ways and saw no difference in
    load times
    CPU
    Memory
    Graphic card
    Frame rates
    At all
    My feeling is that as the RF2 content gets released plus all the mods that we will have a lot of Data.
    So having all of this on a second drive will be beneficial.

    I suppose any performance difference would depend on whether the partitions you install to are on same/similar drives. My install defaulted to C: for the core and my E: drive where my documents folder is for the data. Convenient enough I thought, since that's what I would have done anyway! My C: drive is a 128GB SSD and the E: is a 1TB 6GB SATA drive, so the program should load a bit quicker than if it were all on a disc drive. But of course when I'm loading cars and tracks to drive, I'm still depending on the data drive speed. Main issue is having enough storage space for all the data.
