Hi,
I have a desktop PC for gaming, photo editing, multimedia... with the following drives:
SSD - 120 GB Samsung Evo 840
HDD - 1 TB WD Caviar Blue
I use my SSD for OS (win 8.1), drivers, desktop, some programs... as usual. But I am always playing with only 10 GB of empty space so I am thinking about upgrading with another SSD, maybe 240 GB Samsung Evo 850.
The idea is to keep the 120 GB one clean only for SO and drivers. The 240 one will store stuff like programs (Office, Autocad, Chrome, Photoshop), some slow-loading games (GTA...) and frequently used files.
However, I am not sure if is there any advantage in keeping one drive only for OS and drivers. I mean, if I format the OS, do I have to reinstall programs and games although they are stored in other drive?
