Hi all,
I’m going to be getting rid of my standard HDD, and doing a fresh install this weekend (As well a installing a new PSU)…
I’m going to be installing a new Samsung SSD as the main drive, and a new backup 1000G for storage. As this is the first time of doing this, could I just get advice on the following please:
Should I just install the SSD first, then after Windows is installed etc add the second hard drive (Well install the second HDD I guess, but leave a cable out until after?!)
Do I need to do anything else apart from install Windows on the SSD? No formatting of the new drive etc (Just change to ACHI in BIOS?)
What do I need to do to install the 2nd standard HDD when I am ready – simply plug it in and Windows should do the rest?
My MOBO is Gigabyte GA Z77 D3H Rev 1.1 – which slot should I use to plug in the SSD/HDD.
What info should I be installing to the SSD? OS of course…then games I wish to play? And anything else to D drive – photos…music…films etc?
Okay…that’s all for now. Thanks for your time
