Inventor on SSD vs. HDD

[Anonymous]

Just a quick opinion poll as to where I should install Inventor Professional 2018.

I'm a MecE student who just got a co-op job, was told to learn Inventor.

I have 2 Samsung 840 EVO's (SATA 3 SSD's) in RAID 0 with ~100/480 gb left, and a 1tb HDD that's almost empty. Should inventor rate 25 gigs in my ssd's?

Maybe I should I install inventor on the hdd and just keep the files on the ssd's, or vv?

Related, how big are inventor files, anyway?

CPU: i7 4700k @ 4.00ghz

CPU cooler: CM Hyper 612 v2

GPU: GTX 980 Founder's edition

Welcome to the Autodesk User's Community..

Are you more concerned about disk space or access speed?  Your posting sounds like you are more concerned about disk space which you shouldn't.

File size for Inventor files vary depending on what the model looks like.

What type of Inventor license are you using for this?  If you have a student version, you can't use this if you are not attending a qualified educational institution.  You state a student but you must be attending..   Also if you do have the free student version, you can't use this for anything related to the job.  You can learn, but you can't use it to create any project for the place you're working for.
