If it matters, I am using a virtual server running Server 2012 R2 and using Server 10.2.2. Thanks!</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 12 May 2015 11:51:58 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/arcgis-cache-directories/m-p/248850#M9606 GeorgePapamihalakis 2015-05-12T11:51:58Z Re: ArcGIS Cache directories https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/arcgis-cache-directories/m-p/248851#M9607 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>From my experiences with IT, it is easier to expand an additional drive such as an E-drive than it is to expand the C-drive to account for more storage that is needed as you create more cached mapservices.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 12 May 2015 12:22:45 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/arcgis-cache-directories/m-p/248851#M9607 MichaelVolz 2015-05-12T12:22:45Z Re: ArcGIS Cache directories https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/arcgis-cache-directories/m-p/248852#M9608 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I don't know if there is ​an actual advantage performance wise, but to add to what Michael mentioned, IT also tend to lock down the c-drive, for security reasons. So putting those folders on the d-drive or other "local" drive makes it easier to manage, and I have not found any negative performance.&nbsp;&nbsp; There are still some AGS folders that remain on the c drive.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 12 May 2015 14:09:26 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/arcgis-cache-directories/m-p/248852#M9608 RebeccaStrauch__GISP 2015-05-12T14:09:26Z
