How to boot with SSD but still use HDD for storage ?

YouHao · Mar 27, 2015

Hi everyone !
I recently got a 120GB Samsung SSD and was wondering if I could only use my SSD for the boot of my OS. I don't really want my SSD to become the main storage since I already used 300 GB of my 1TB... If this is possible, how can we do it ?

This is my build with motherboard and HDD : https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/zijayz/saved/

Hey there, YouHao!

Congrats & good job with the PC rig, pretty good specs you got there!

As for the installation of the SSD as the boot drive and using the HDD as a secondary storage, I'd suggest you to take a look at a couple of tutorials that might shed some light on the whole process and let me know if you have any specific questions.
