Hello, am little lost here I want to know if using an SSD drive will make my OS stable and fast or should I just use my new HDD for installing my OS plus data Storage, they are quite expensive I want to add a 60 GB SSD for only installing my OS on it and use my 1TB hard-drive for running games and storage, does it help in any way? as in mostly performance and OS stability.

Thanks.

60GB SSD would be fine for only OS, and 1TB HDD for Data.

SSD will make a conspicuous difference in booting your PC and a big improvement in loading a program.

SSDs are way faster than HDDs and are perfectly stable for putting your OS on, that is what they are Primarily used for. 60 gbs will be perfect for your OS, you could probably install a program or two on it as well to speed your most used program up

There is little point in buying an SSD if you don't intend to install the operating system on it.
