Howdy. I've been having some issues with my hard drives lately. If I purchase 2 or more SSDs for my pc running windows 7, will I have a problem with steam games? I had a 64gb SSD a while back and an internal 1tb hdd, there was a ton of information sharing between the two drives and I just couldnt stop it. My Steam game library was set to run on the 1tb drive and the OS on the SSD, but most everything I put onto the 1tb drive shared a small % of that space with the SSD. How do I stop that from happening? I am not sure how to set this up, any help or advice is appreciated. I've never experienced Sata before, so ya any help on the best and fastest setup is really appreciated. I have a budget of around $275 total and am more than happy to buy refurb ssds from newegg.
I need a fast boot and fast shut down, the fastest and overall best value SSD for just the OS to be applied to is ideal, and I would purchase another spare SSD to use with my steam games, music and a few other programs. Is this possible or at all wise? I was considering this as the primary http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147192
and this as the spare
