I'm rebuilding my system with mostly new components. Among the used parts are a pair of WD Black 1TB 7200 RPM SATA-III drives that have been configured as RAID 1.
I'm rebuilding because of some instability issues, but I'm making FSX and gaming performance one of my goals.
I have an unopened Crucial M550 1TB, but I could also get a Samsung 850 EVO 128GB and a Seagate 1TB SSHD.
I would go straight SSD, but it sounds like you really want physical disc for temp files, swap files, browser cached, etc.
I'm also thinking toward actual implementation. I could go SSD, and then in the root add a \HDD linked folder onto the RAID, for example. Or I could build a config that splits a boot volume SSD and SRT space to use on the RAID, but I've heard that this may be fairly abusive for MLC memory in a large SSD, and I don't want to fry anything. The presumption is that if I got the Seagate SSHD the cache on that is SLC, and thus better suited for reliable caching.
I hope to start building tonight or tomorrow, but I'm looking for inputs while I still have an unopened drive that I could swap out.
Thanks in advance.
