Dear cadspeed.wordpress.com,

I have a question concerning installing software like SolidWorks and CATIA.

When I install programs like Photoshop or After Effects I usually create separate partitions on multiple hard drives. For instance:

HDD1:
'OS' partition
'Adobe' partition

HDD2
'Scratch disk' partition

HDD3 (data)
'Page file' partition
Data partition

HDD4
'Page file' partition
Data partition

I separate the scratch file and page file so they won't fight over the same free space on HDD1. Using multiple hard-drives divides the workloads and thus increases performance in my opinion.

(Separate Adobe and OS partitions on the same drive does not increase performance. I just prefer it, because I usually install the Master suite.)

Are there similar performance tweaks one can do when installing Solidworks or CATIA? Like installing OS on one HDD and CATIA on another? Can you install CATIA and SolidWorks on the same HDD?

Thanks in advance.
