I'm sure there is a post about this somewhere, but everything i read just seems to complicate my decision.

In regards to a hard drive setup for a gaming pc, which option would be best and why? (keeping cost / performance in mind)

Option 1:
Have a 64GB SSD with only OS on it.
Have a 1TB Hybrid drive for games / storage.

Option 2:
have a 120 GB SSD with OS and primary game on it.
1TB Hybrid drive for everything else.

Option 3:
Have SSD for OS (Size?)
Have SSD for primary game.
Hybrid or HDD for storage.


Questions:
As for the rumors i have heard, is it true that 64GB SSDs have had issues with size (certain programs can only be installed on OS drive?)
What is the truth data on Hybrid drive performance? is it worth it to buy one over a HDD?
If i do go HDD instead of Hybrid, What should i look for?

Any information on this topic would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance,

Thor.
 
Solution
120GB SSD and 1TB or more normal Hard drive.
Or if you can fit this in your budget:
250GB and 1TB or more normal hard drive
You won;t see much improvements going hybrid since you already have a SSD for the OS.
