Hi guys,

My current situation :

I have a 128GB SSD (for OS and some apps) and a 1TB HDD(Games, Movies , Photos , etc..)

My plan :

Buy and add a 2nd 256GB SSD. Transfer all my games from HDD to this SSD. I'll be playing games like Battlefield 4, Watch Dogs and Witcher 3 the Wild hunt. Loading times can be pretty bad if I installed it on my HDD.

The SSD is going to cost me about 200$. So, is it worth it?

id say yes if you play games alot, and you got 200bucks burning a hole in your pocket, but if spending 200bucks is alot of money to you then probably not. but what i might do to save a bit of money, is just get another 128gb and put them in raid 0, get more room and some more speed.

You will notice a performance increase while loading the games. I do not know if You will see a performance increase while playing the games.

Do You have a way to test how much disk I/O is going on while You are playing? (Can You run SysInternals ProcessExplorer on an unused screen?)
