[SOLVED] Local disk properties search indexing

[nbartolo7]

Do I need, on my secondary drive, to have "allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties" checked? I heard it's a monster hog on system resources and that I might as well disable this, since it's going to be my games drive anyway.

Thoughts?

SSD or HDD?

SSD, turn it off.
HDD, leave it on.


And no, it is NOT a 'monster hog'.
"I heard" is very very often completely wrong.

Don't you have steam client running off the 2nd drive? How many other applications run off 2nd drive?

I don't know if it would make any difference or not, but if you have data saved on the drive, it might help. Just helps if you search drive more often.

Indexing tends to run after updates only so its not something you need to be concerned about very much once its set up.

Sorry, I didn't get what you said. You're saying, that if I have any program clients running on D, then it's not a good idea to do it?

if you have clients or programs on D drive, you might want to index drive.

Otherwise, its up to you
