Yes, I have mine on a dedicated WOFF SSD.
WOFF definately loads faster, but the game does not play any faster, it just loads faster. The game loads so fast that the mission has already started and you are at the airfield before the "Contact" startup sequence has finished.

I will add that if you are video recording your game play by using an app like FRAPS, you will find the SSD helps considerably if you are writing your output to it.

2.5" SSD's are a fantastic fitment to a Laptop as W7 loads in 15sec as opposed to 1m20sec on an I3, and even in my old laptop with some sort of Pentium it loads much quicker. The other advantage is greater battery life as it doesn't have to power the motor for the hard drive. AND you can then take the hard drive out of the laptop (as you have to anyway) and fit it into an external USB enclosure and use that as a backup or whatever. Altogether a win/win situation. On my desktop (my WOFF machine with 8Gb memory and a 4Ghz x 4 processor) I keep the hard drives as the extra expense does not justify an SSD.

What I wish is that Windows natively allowed you to put your user profiles on the drive of your choice. Duke, You can after a fashion by using libraries. You can change the location of the folders my pictures, my music, etc. Follow the below steps and check- a. Go to the location C:\Users\ (user name). b. Now right click the folder whose location you want to change like my pictures, my music, etc. c. Now click on the location tab and change the location under the heading “you can change where files in this folder are stored to another place on this hard drive, another driver or another computer on the network”. d. Now click Apply and Ok. Actually libraries (like pictures library) are where you go to manage your documents, music, pictures, and other files. You can browse your files the same way you would in a folder or you can view your files arranged by properties like date, type, and author. In some ways, a library is similar to a folder. For example, when you open a library, you'll see one or more files. However, unlike a folder, a library gathers files that are stored in several locations. This is a subtle, but important, difference.Libraries don't actually store your items. They monitor folders that contain your items, and let you access and arrange the items in different ways. For instance, if you have document files in folders on your hard disk and on an external drive, you can access all of your document files at once using the Document library. You may refer to the below links for details - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Working-with-librarieshttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-a-new-libraryhttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Include-folders-in-a-libraryhttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Libraries-frequently-asked-questionsFWIW, I have OS, WOFF and other favorite programs on my SSD, and automatically save documents, downloads, etc. to E:/

Personally one of the benefits of a SSD is the reliability it offers. No moving parts (bearings etc.) to wear out. We encourage all our customers change to SSD's, especially our commercial customers.

Hi everyone, I'm new to Woff, only purchased it a week ago, I bought Woff 1&2, The Fokker expansion and the skin pack and I have been really enjoying it, but I have been having massive problems using WOFF on a SSD.
I have had to reinstall it for the third time in a week yesterday as the first install I made on a 250GB Samsung Evo 840 ssd worked fine for a bit and then ended up with a corrupt simulation.xml file making the game unable to load a flight.
I then reinstalled it all over again and it worked ok for a few goes and then I end up with a WOFF.dll error, again, making the game unplayable which is incredibly annoying.
As stupid as it sounds, my PC is so fast, that with the game running off SSD I don't think the old CFS3 game engine can keep up with it properly.
I have now installed it for the third time onto a 1TB Samsung F3 mechanical drive, so I will see how I get on.
My DirectX and Runtimes are all up to date, and I have no problem playing any other game, just Woff doesn't appear to like my pc for some reason.
If anyone has any ideas as to why, I would be most apreciative.
Thanks !

Hi Panama Red, thank you for the reply. I was aware that some people have a bug with the EVO SSD's but I have benchmarked my Samsung Evo SSD and there is nothing wrong with it : I also have a Crucial MX100 256GB SSD and an OCZ Agility 3 240GB SSD in my PC. Does anyone know if I can have two installs of WOFF at once? I'm guessing not. I would like to try it on an SSD, just to reduce load times, but don't really want to have to uninstall the version that appears to be running ok off my 1TB Samsung mechanical drive. I find no comparable performance difference between SSD or standard mechanical hard drive apart from load times.

I had lots of trouble with file corruption with WOFF on a Kingmax 60Gb drive. After reinstalling a few times I put the drive in my laptop. WOFF on a WD 320Gb 3.5" drive has given no trouble at all. And the SSD in the laptop has also given no problems. Make of that what you will!
Yes you can have two installs of WOFF, but remember you only have one registry and that is on your C: drive. If the two installs of WOFF are not patched to the same level it can cause problems.
