What would be the impact on application startup speed in a system where the SSD only contains application data and the OS is located on a hard drive? Would I see difference versus the same setup, but where the OS is on the same SSD?
Is the OS files accessed when an application starts?
Answer
since it is the operating system that is burdened with the workload of disk operations, it would be a waste to use a SSD for applications only, yes, the applications may load a tad faster but the overall performance will be nothing in comparison to a scenario where the OS is installed on the SSD.
modern operating systems are tasked with a multitude of operations in the background (multitasking :). so, the faster the disk where the OS is residing, the better the performance of the system in general.
