What's the best way to configure a system with the various storage devices out there?
I have at my disposal: m.2 128gb, 240gb SSD, 480gb SSD, 2Tb 7200rpm hard drive.
I was for a long time building my systems trying to use a 120gb SSD as my boot drive and load all of my software onto that SSD. A 1Tb Hard drive was installed for any data. And, that's served me well for my surfing computers and my business computers where the OS and all the software would easily fit on even a 120gb SSD.
Now, I'm building my son a new gaming system and with the amount of games he has, Windows 10, and Office 2016. I'm not sure they'll all fit onto even a 480gb SSD.
Does it matter if the games are installed onto the 2Tb 7200 RPM hard drive with the OS on an m.2 or SSD device? Should I just go with the 480gb SSD with as many programs and games I can fit on the SSD and then go over to the 7200RPM Hard drive for any programs/games that don't fit on the SSD?
