When I open files from my secondary HDD drive, will they pass through the main SSD drive?

No ikaz I'm not.

Ah man it all passes through the main SSD drive OS...........

I know you said errors have "already" happened and the passing data would be fine....but....look again at the below results of simply a blackout! Passing through THAT, is, not acceptable right right?

>Bit errors: Random, incorrectly written bits of data
>Flying writes: Writes that were correctly written, but end up in the wrong location
>Shorn writes: Writes that are below the expected size, due to the power failure
>Metadata corruption: Corruption to the Flash Translation Layer (FTL) that sits between the SSD hardware and the operating system
>Bricked device: Self explanatory
>Unserializability: The storage blocks that are written are not written in the proper operation order

Even with a UPS backup battery, because SSDs still turn out like da above, I don't think I want my data passing through it.

I was going to use it to save my HDD from booting and using programs, plus speed, plus even to say install win7 ad then more safely wipe it and install win10 PLUS have shortcuts that go to the HDD so win10 has a bigger chance of not moving all my files to a last update folder or delete select few (no touching my files lol! [not even antivirus scan])...win10 says "all your files are where you left them" = initiates investigation. Maybe it's uploading all files to its servers and then reinstalling them after each update, even moving them, = wear n tear. Having such a headache with my "new pc build".

My pc build is based on price, speed, and reliability 0 physical/logical corruption. SSD & win10 almost fit the bill of noooot reliable. SO scared.

@USAFret Because Windows 10 is the final OS, it will keep updating major builds yearly, and keeps saying that line, and I honestly don't know if it's "touching" even near each stored file...installing new OSs often wipe everything. I don't want any of my files re-put on or touched. For example win7 - 1 install - put on files - relaxes.

I don't need real-time protection, or a double HDD to create a backup. I upload my important data to my gmail almost each night, while video/etc is on a external HDD not connected to the wall. And only the SSD would at-least need the UPS for some better data reliability.

I think I'm going to go with windows 7, no SSD, and have to possibly skip that nice cheap skylake processor for a more expensive broadwell 6800K or one lower 5820K, skylake is said to not be made nor work as good unless on windows 10 . Otherwise I go with skylake and windows 10 and with a headache of a corporation on my computer.

The SSd will bug up, the external in my closet will stay safe and re-bought if it got dropped.

Trusting google with my private data is not the problem, it's actually open data, rather preservation, and gmail does keep those preserved each night. While, windows 10 may be touching all files during its "update" parody.

I wrote down all win10 problems. 7 & 8 & 10 have 1 from long ago - the removal of the ability to drag n drop a file/image between two in a folder, example 20 images of girls in a folder, and I want to move their order around. Nextly, the rest are with win10 (after this I'll point out which of the below are the major-badies)

>Why I just cannot bare to put my life's work on windows 10:
>Old hardware/software may not work.
>Interrupts my work with updates or temporary blank desktop etc.
>Can't trust my settings will stay put.
>Forces updates that may entail radically new design changes since windows10 is the final OS and may be bad but you cannot keep the old version you had.
>Windows10 has all malware attributes and uninstalls/changes/messes with your drivers/programs/files. >Updates may move your files into a backup folder or upload it all and then download it back.
>Feeds update torrents by using nearby pcs.
>Privacy concerns>all you speak/type/search/open etc. Possibly image hashes de-sized and search Google's Deep-Learning hash tree.
>My thought about it all "Please I'm scared, I won't switch to 10 until a new face is shown with trust and a bright haven behind it."
>Their feedback messages publicly shown all sound like me.

Majorly:
Privacy
Hardware Compatibility
Files it erases/moves -or- uploads&downloads

MAJOR:
The Files! --- Since I can put notes in each folder saying "should be 8,000 images here", what remains is the UNKNOWN WHA! Has win10 moved them? You can't tell! Why do those updates take so long! OS installs wipe all. And remember it says win10 is the last and so it has major OS "installs". And it says it'all where you left them. Major deal breaker. Give me that dev? They need my hands on their win10. Read up on its problems. Just this morning the big update changed my background to theirs. And I've seen pictures of peoples's files left in a "backup folder" or something, idk what that is.

- Because gmail is only holding each night's backup of a few very important notes, which I'm sure stays put on their drive.

- But, win 10 has allll my video/music/images/etc...that's a sea to have to watch, and it may be touching it all during the major OS builds, remember this is the last Windows and therefore has major-builds that are the ones that wipe all data like installing ex. XP/7 does and win10 says all is where you left it, well, why doesn't the other 1-time OSs install do such? Cus Win10 is secretly putting your files back-on and touches all-of-them. ? Did you miss my reply above? It said somethin like "remember this is last windows and so etc".

Again, readup on win10 problems, settings are set to some evil things and can revert back. This morning my background got changed. Thanksgiving deleted peoples's innocent program and related files. Etc.

I use nothing else. Even new games aren't like Donkey Kong Country etc. Can't even buy a game lol! And no, I can just tell you they are likely safe. Though, microft for example on the Xbone yes is, I will re-tell you that they actually probably DO erase and mess your stuff around. Just look at it, bad design etc. Even controller.

I feel like everything is linearily going downhill. Even hardware. Old things used to last. Every other game was good. None today are good, you know-it admit it. Only I am left. I can do it.

I had already decided just before you posted that, I decided not to go for the SSD nor windows 10.

Thanks for your help guys.

Wait a moment here.......

Let me be more clear.

I'm talking about when you come across a image on the web in Google Images Search page, and want to save it. Does the image that gets saved ever pass the SSD or just goes to the HDD save drive? Why would it have to pass the SSD? And doesn't all temporary data like the search page's images etc go into the faster RAM anyhow?

Because I don't want the image to pass through such a corrupted storage device such as the SSD in its old age. I don't want the pixels to be "changed".

Are you sure on this?

Do you have an information source?

I'm not joking, remember I said above the following about read/write corruptivity of SSDs:

>Bit errors: Random, incorrectly written bits of data
>Flying writes: Writes that were correctly written, but end up in the wrong location
>Shorn writes: Writes that are below the expected size, due to the power failure
>Metadata corruption: Corruption to the Flash Translation Layer (FTL) that sits between the SSD hardware and the operating system
>Bricked device: Self explanatory
>Unserializability: The storage blocks that are written are not written in the proper operation order

The images I acquire from the internet are whatever I get. But once I get it, I will preserve it best now.

Sure temp. is on the SSD, but are you sure the computer isn't making a copy of the image in RAM go to a storage device which keeps data when power is turned off? (RAM erases once power is off)

I was asking if the temp is all in the RAM, it is even faster than SSD, why doesn't it go there then to selected storage? And what if I can change the temp. folder location? Headache alert oh no.
