Hey guys, so here's my problem. I built my computer with a Western Digital 1TB HD. However, I now want to add a SSD to it for boot-up and some games. Are there any SSD's that are optimized specifically for the HDD and SSD combo or...

Thanks for the help! :)

You can get Hybrid SSD/HDD but better off with just SSD
You Could Clone the HDD across but Best to do a fresh Install
Turn OFF the Swap File in Windows its of no use on SSD's and just waste valuable SSD space
Most Modern SSD's you don't have to worry about tweaking windows further with Files Caching, indexing etc

Just like running 2 drives 1 being very fast

Are you referring to SSD Cache? there are great SSDs out there that can be a cache for your HDD but 60gb is the max size to cache the HDD with.
You might want to fresh install the os to the SSD instead and make the HDD the storage drive. :)
