SSD vs HDD?

Development Getting Started & Setup

As @RecourseDesign mentioned, Using SSD is advised as they are much faster than HDDs.

If possible keep your engine and project both on SSD. HDDs are going to be painful when your project size increases (I’m not sure on what scale is your project being made.)

If you have very limited space you can do the following:

  1. Make sure to uninstall components that you do not use from the Epic Launcher.
    (Like you can uninstall Andoird and iOS if you are not targeting that platforms).

  2. Move the ‘.vs’ and ‘Engine\Intermediate’ folder to SSD and establish symbolic links to the folder’s original location.

Hope this answers your concerns. :smile:
