I am in the process of building my first rig, and I have been reading up on storage devices. From what I've read, the best set up (opinion) is to have one storage for your OS and a second for data. However, I've read semi-often that installing games on a third storage device is beneficial. Can anyone explain or offer advice on how to best implement this? So far my thinking is to have an SSD for my OS, a second SSD for my games, an a third HDD for all my other data.
Also, as a side question, how does having my game data on its own drive affect moving to a new computer or reinstalling games? Since everything, including Steam and the games themselves I'm assuming, will be on the drive, is it almost plug-and-play on whatever machine?
