Hello everyone,
Recently, I purchased parts for a build (I havent put it together yet, though). From reading around, I decided to use both and SSD for boot (+some applications) and a HDD for everything else. I have the Samsung 840 120gb (SSD) and the WD Black 1tb (HDD), with Win. 8. However, I am going to need help setting the drives up (I am very new to building computers)
First of all, are there any good tutorials / videos explaining how to set up an SSD as a boot drive alongside a HDD?
Somewhere, I've read that it's a whole lot more complex to separate the AppData folder, etc. ... Would this be an issue?
Also, as a side note, does anyone know how long the particular SSD will last? I've read that SSD's have a rather short lifespan ( if they write data ). Would including things such as gamefile saves (which I would write to frequently) shorten the live of the SSD?
