I just ordered all my parts for a new build (i7-4790K, asus maximus vii impact, 16GB corsair, and 128GB XP941).
It's overkill for most of what I do, but I encode quite a bit with Handbrake, which is why I wanted the CPU power. Anyway, I just realized I can't change the Temp directory on Handbrake, and it's not possible unless I move all the Windows Temp files to another HDD.
I plan on having a second small internal drive to move Temp files to, primarily Handbrake, IDM and Newsbin (IDM and Newsbin can be moved in the Program settings), and house a VM data file. However since I can't move Handbrakes Temp folder within the program setting, will a good deal of encoding kill the drive quickly if it's using the XP941?
I'm not sure how many writes exactly, but I thought encoding writes quite a bit during the process. Are SSDs these days equipt to handle it?
