Question About IO Schedulers

I have one SSD and three HDDs in my system, arch is installed on the ssd and the rest of for storage/windows 7. Currently I have noop set as the scheduler for the SSD and CFQ as the system default, is this an optimal setup or should I change noop to the default scheduler?

Re: Question About IO Schedulers

Your setup sounds all right. Setting noop for HDDs seems like a very bad idea.
