Hello there,
I am currently seeking a best practices/setup for performance and keeping my drives healthy. I have a Lenovo w530 with a 120gb SSD as my primary drive.
I will be adding a second drive soon so I have some questions.
I have read about the SSD Vs. HDD debate but am still unclear on which route to take.
The plan so far is to run Windows and any programs off of the 120gb SSD and use the secondary for storage. To my understanding using the SSD for read only purposes will greatly increase its lifespan. I would then use the secondary drive for all temp files. (I believe "Scratch drive" is the term for this?) I use Adobe Master Collection and other rendering style programs quite frequently therefore there can be a fair amount of temp files and writing/deleting.
If I went with a SSD for my secondary drive should I expect a reduced lifespan or would this Wear Leveling term I hear keep things healthy?
Thanks for your time.
