    I have a intel G2160ssd drive in my laptop and a 500g 7200rpm drive for all my games. I can't decide if I should install the game on the ssd drive or on the 500g 7200rpm drive. They say the game is 20 gigs so I really don't want to install it on the ssd drive unless it will run better and load faster. What do you all think I should do?

    the only thing that you'll really gain if you install on the ssd is faster load times of levels so if you don't have the space, put it on the HDD ;)

    Thx for the info, I have about 75 gigs left on my ssd drive but the other drive is a 500GB (7200 RPM) Hybrid 4GB Serial ATA hard disk drive. Not sure what the Hybrid 4GB means but I will put it on that hard drive. :)
