I got a VS notification about "Dev Drive" ...

Set up a Dev Drive on Windows 11 | Microsoft Learn[^] Anyone tried it yet? Any good? Worth doing? Or a risky way to scramble a SSD because MS is involved and they don't seem to be testing much these days ... :-D

I just set up a DevDrive to see what it was all about. Moved a project I'm working on over to the new drive, fired up VS2017 got references comfigured, compiled...check. Run...BSOD After reboot the project won't load and the csproj file, when opened with a hex editor (HxD) it's all double boogers. So to answer you're question, it's a typical uSoft SNAFU.

Thanks for that - sorry about your project - I'll leave it a while then.

Took me quite a bit of reading to find the following... "Dev Boxes will come pre-configured to use Dev Drives so that teams who develop in the cloud will realize these perf gains automatically." So it has something to do with that. I don't want to develop on the cloud. If my network goes down I can keep working. However per the chart on the link from the original page why would anyone be doing a "local" git repo clone on such a regular basis that they need it to be faster? For me the only thing that is going to make me developer faster is if they find a way to speed up my brain. Then it also appears that one of the comparisons is doing a build of the entire Java Spring codebase. If your project is that big you should learn a bit about decomposing projects because doing it that way guarantees maintenance problems.

It's the fingers that need speeding up for me!

I couldn't see the benefit either but thought I'd kick the tires, should have known. I had to give up using VS2022 because it's so buggy, that should have been a red flag.

Yeah, I got that message but after reading few lines of docs, I decided to not test it. It needs 16 GB memory and my box has only 32GB.

that's a pretty good memory load. PLus, with all the crap MS is pulling these days, I'll stick with NTFS.
