Save File Location

[BubbaDave]

My realm is growing daily as I've been adding stubs at a prolific pace. My drives, unfortunately are all HDDs and the process, while once swift, is really bogging down now. As I understand it, SSDs should be the way to go with Realmworks due to speed? So, my questions are:

• Is the RW save file static on my C: drive?
• If I get a SSD external, is there a way to save there instead, and if I can, will it speed up response times?
• If I cannot switch file locations and if I can manage to sync to the cloud backup (they're looking into why my main realm is timing out), would an uninstall of RW and subsequent re-install on a new internal SSD be wise?

Any other tips for speeding up response times?
