Ok so I have been doing some research and I still cannot find a definite answer. I am planning on buying a 128 gb Samsung 840 pro series SSDs, also a 500gb WD caviar black mechanical HDD. Will be able to install windows 7 onto the SSD and use my other HDD for things such as games?


System specs
CPU:fx-8350
CPU cooler: corsair h80i
Case: NZXT phantom 820
Motherboard:undecided
Memory:8gb of corsair vengeance
Storage:128 gb Samsung 840 pro SSD WD 500 gb 7200 rpm caviar black
Video card:EVGA geforce gtx 660

The answer to your question is yes.

Microsoft Windows 7 will take up about 20 to 24 GB of space. You will also be able to install your software applications, utilities, and a few of your favorite games on the ssd. The hard disk drive can be used to store data files and additional games. You can easily swap out games between the ssd and the hard drive. It is very easy to do. It is a typical configuration.

You may install a game on the ssd or you may install a game on the hard drive. The choice is yours. Typically gamers will install just a few of their favorite games on the ssd and play those while other games are installed on the hard drive. If they get tired of playing the games on the ssd they swap them for games stored on the hard drive.
