I'm going to try moving my document files to an SSD to see if it'll help with my long-standing buffering problems.  The program itself already runs from the C drive (SSD) but i have my document files on a regular internal hard drive.  I plan to do this:

1) Move .sndb files and associated SNDB folders to the Docs folder on the C drive

2) Launch files from that new location.

Is that all I need to do?

Hi Wayne,

Yes. You'll probably also want to review some settings in Tools>Options>This Database>Data Storage also

If you have items with links to files, Doc pane content saved as HTML files, etc, which no longer point to the correct path, IQ will try to resolve it when showing that item. It helps if the new paths ressemble the old ones (first attempt is simply doing a drive letter substitution)

An SSD will definitely improve performance !!
(IQ data is saved in a database and as such has quite significant disk IO)

How do I ?
