Hi,
I plan to dual boot linux + windows 8 and am wondering is it better to partition a 240GB ssd or use two seperate 120GB ssd's.

Biggest reason I'd want 2 ssd's is so i can control which OS to boot through Bios rather than Grub/other bootloader

Biggest reason I'd want 1 ssd is so I can allocate slightly more memory to the windows partition which will be the partition holding all of the games.

Would there be any significant advantages of one over the other that i may have missed?

Also similar question, 1 partitioned 2TB hdd or 2 1TB hdd both for storage for their respective operating systems. (no raid)

Thanks
