Okay guys so I got a question to ask. In a few weeks to a few month I will be purchasing a new laptop. I will be looking for a laptop that have two hard drive bays, and may even convert the optical drive space to another hard drive slot. The situation I am in is about how I will be setting up the storage devices.
I plan on getting at least two SSD's. A smaller one for the operating system, and a slightly larger one for applications. Most likely the speeds won't be the same. What I need help is what I should use the faster SSD for. Will the faster SSD be more useful holding the OS, or will it be better holding the applications. If I do go the route of a third SSD for files should that be the faster one or the slowest one? Is it a better idea to have a larger 7200rpm hdd for the files? Is it okay to run a SATA III SSD with a SATA II SSD?
So far the largest HDD I have had on any computer is 320gb for applications, and a 200gb for OS and Files. Photoshop recommends seperate storage devices for OS, Programs, and Files. If I were to use scratch disks is it better to get one HDD? I started researching for a laptop purchase during 2009. I almost bought one the beginning of this semester but decided not to as I switched majors.
Your opinions, knowledge will be very helpful on setting up my first laptop. I'll thank you for reading my post anyways.
