Hello

Which games should I put onto a SSD or a HDD?

I have in my system a 240gb Samsung EVO 5 for the OS drive and a addition 500gb Samsung Evo 5 SSD.

I have a WD Blue 1TB drive that I put movies, music, media onto.

The games that I own are Metal Gear Solid The Phantom Pain, Skyrim with texture mod pack, Witcher 3.

I will buy Star Craft 2, Diablo 3, GTA V, Star Wars Battle Front, FallOut 4, and maybe Shadows of Mordor.

Which of these games will be best for putting onto a SSD and which ones will be best for putting onto a HDD?

Generally you put all your games on the SSD. Given you can't play all games at the same time anyway, what I do is if I don't want to uninstall a given game to free up space (because I might want to get back to it for DLC or whatever), I just transfer the whole game folder over to the HDD (it obviously won't RUN from there, given it was installed to the SSD in the first instance). Then when I want to get back to said older game I just copy it back to the SSD (same location as it was originally installed) from HDD.

loading time only change , so it does not to be a good question , hdd transfer speed max 120MBPS , but ssd transfer speed above 400MBPS, processor , mobo , ram , gpu these are doing most jobs then hdd or ssd, so hdd or ssd does not a matter ... you see circle loading in hdd for some sec, you not see that in ssd.
