So I picked up a small PCIe SSD, as a ‘caching’ disk for certain games (including some of my longer-lived/mod-heavy Steam installs, and probably my various Uru installs). GW2 is on the short list, but its already on my main OS disk (a WD Blue).
Will a copy of the game folder work, or is a reinstall needed? I know some MMOs (like Eve) only use the starting directory for settings, so copies work well there. But some other games are heavily Registry tied, which would require a reinstall to move those.
Would have just done the re-install, but the folder is huge, and took a couple hours to do it last time. :/
[For the curious – this is a Plextor M6e, 128 Gig version, in my 4x slot. Scary boot at first, btw – it took over and started up, then let the motherboard go to POST. Sheesh.]

I like to view MMOs through the lazy eye of a Systems Admin, and the critical eye of a
Project Manager. You’ve been warned. ;-)
