Special Folders

This is a multipart question and a story....

ArchiCAD crashed on my this week because my C: drive got too full for it to do all it's writing for 3d... As an interim fix, I changed the SPECIAL FOLDERS to point to my data drive instead... but then installed a larger NVMe drive for C: drive...

1. Upon re-opening ArchiCAD, I noticed that the SPECIAL folders had reverted back to the C: drive (in this case it was OK as that's what I was going to do anyway... just not sure that's how it's supposed to work)

2. Now I'm left with 3 drives in my computer 1TB NVMe C: drive, 512GB NVMe (on a PCIe card) and my 1TB data "spinny" drive (7200RPM HDD)...
a. What is the best use of these drives in an ArchiCAD setup?
- Use C: drive for APP and SPECIAL FOLDERS
- Stick working files on 2nd SSD? (Does this even matter)?
b. I work 99% of the time in TEAMWORKED files...


Anyway... I'm just a "country architect", Jim and don't know the ins and outs of how to get the most out of my computer...

Any / all advice welcome...
Duane

Hello vfrontiers,

I have already read we need 3x free space on our disk than size of teamwork project. I do not have any link to prove it but I think you should check this point first.
