Hey there guys!

I have just recently got myself a new SSD the, Kingston HyperX 3K 240GB for a really good price of about £120. I also got a new WD Blue 1TB HDD to also go with my 500GB HDD as well.
I also have an OCZ Agility 3 60GB SSD from when I built my PC almost a a year ago which is currently my boot drive but I have reinstalled windows on it like 4 times, but used partedmagic to format it and not the OCZ program, which I will use from now on so I can get back its performance.

When I install the hardware I will be wiping all my data from my 500GB HDD and 60GB SSD, of course backing up my major files I want to keep.

With my Kingston as I got the bundle I will be getting the SSD USB enclosure which is awesome. But anyway, I now have these two SSDs and I don't know how I should use them, I shall create a list below and I want to see which you think is the best way to use them, or you can give me your own suggestions:

- Use 60GB SSD ONLY as boot drive and 240GB SSD for major used games and applications with rest of games and applications on 1TB HDD
- Use 240GB SSD as boot drive and holding major used games and programs, 60GB SSD can be used for caching for the 1TB HDD
- Use 240GB SSD as boot drive and holding major used games and programs, 60GB SSD be played in SSD USB enclosure and used as a backup drive or normal USB files storage

Yeah not a big list but that's all I could really see me doing.
If you have any more ideas please tell me below, or choose what you think is the best option.

Thanks,
Ethan.

The 240GB drive should be quite a bit faster than the 60GB drive. I would install Windows and your programs on it and use the 60GB drive as a fast backup.

So should I place it in the USB enclosure and use it as the back up that way, or place it in my system and use it as a back up still?
