before the patch there was a 3x time difference... i had not used the ssd with '16, sorry for the misinformation.

still recommend the SSD strongly. i think this game is a bit heavy on host writes to use on a SSD though. this and a few other similar apps/bahaviour will kill it in 2-3 years.

you can set data path to a mechanical drive, but then you lose a bit of the utility. very limited host writes this way.

if they've gotten more robust in the last year or 2, then go for it.

3 minutes?
That's insane I must be missing some option to sim more quickly.
