Can I add SDD after build is complete? Also, why HDD&SDD

Kyle Colburn · Feb 8, 2014

Working on my first PC build. Can I add SDD in a couple of months when I have more $$$$

Also, what is the point of having an SDD and HDD in the same PC? All the videos I have seen on how to build a PC have both...

Thanks!

Because big files like movies and music and such dont need the speed of an ssd. An HDD is create for that while the ssd is used for the os and games .

Edit: And yes you can add it after

SSD's are meant to help speed up boot and shut down times. If you're an avid gamer then the time to load levels is reduced. IF you're very involved with mutli-taksing and content creation then the prompt startups of applications will benefit you to do a great deal of work in a short span of time.

Since SSD's cost a lot more than a regular/high performance HDD, most people opt to go for a small~mid range SSD and have their OS/critical applications/programmes/games on it while having a cheaper larger HDD as their data drive.

Can you add an SSD later down the road?
Yes

But be careful of the motherboard sata ports and the data cable that comes bundled with them since SSD's these days are sata 3 specs and running them on Sata 2 would reduce their speed.
