DayZ and SSD

[spacecraft 3]

Do I need both Arma II and Arma II: OA on my SSD for good performance? Together they take up 16.4 GB of space. Do I actually need OA on my SSD if most of the game assets are from Arma II (to my understanding)?

Well as the mod needs CO which is OA and ARMA II. I'd be guessing yes you need both.

yes... DayZ is also installed in the OA directory.

What exactly is it loading from OA? Aren't all the parts that benefit from loading off a SSD the Arma II assets, like the world?

I just installed Windows & the whole ARMA setup on a 64GB SSD - means everything runs faster if the OS is also on it...just install everything else on the old HDD :)

The answer is yes, you need Arma II and Arma II: OA on your SSD to benefit from you SSD in DayZ.
