Hi,

Is it a smart choice to install only the OS(windows updates, drivers, other essential softwares like MS Office, Anti-virus) on the SSD card? while all other(games, multimedia) will reside on the HDD?

1. Will this setup make the OS and other essentials run faster?
2. Will this setup make games slower to load compared OS?

Thanks in advance.

Booting off the SSC will definitely make a difference. Playing games off a regular HDD is ok, but if you have enough room, I would suggest installing your most played games on the SSD as well. I have 3 games, that I play on a regular basis, installed on an SSD. It does make a huge difference on load times, but I am guessing that depends on the game too. Guild Wars 2 makes map switching so much faster off an SSD.
