I’ve recently bought the parts to build a new computer. Some of the parts are coming from a previous build.
System Usage: primarily to render video and photoshop picture edits for home use, secondary Media center
Parts not required: 1075T, ASUS M4A89GTD, 4GB Corsair XMS3, 8GB Kingston HyperX
I have two hard drives
1 TB Samsung F3
1 TB Hitachi Deskstar
I originally was thinking I would purchase and SSD for this build to use for the system partition (use the Samsung as primary storage and Hitachi as back up storage). However, the price range for the SSD hasn’t come down to my price point yet.
I’m now thinking of using the Samsung as primary system partition and secondary partition as storage (having more than 200 GB of video and pictures), while using Hitachi as the back up storage. I will be loading Windows 7.
Does this sound like a good set up for these two hard drives?
How large of a partition should I allocate for the windows partition?
Any other recommendations?
