I have 1T and 4T HD that I do not use. I wish I had a 480G SSD. Then I would use the $40 1T HD for back-up. My daughter has Titanfall, Witcher 2, etc. on the 240G SSD.Why in the world wouldn't you use the 1TB drive... and just tell her to install her games to the hard drive instead of the SSD? All it changes is loading times, and if it's your computer, she can deal.

It all depends on your storage requirements and your budget.In my case, I store no videos or large files. 240gb holds all I need with some to spare.
And... consider the source, but FPS may well be affected by a ssd:

Lol, my SteamApps folder alone takes 470GB
It really depends on the user I guess...

Depends on what you'll be using it for. SSHDs exist (essentilally same as fusion drives, but the SSD part is much, much smaller; Usually only 8GB): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...dpassenger97 said:

You can, http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and...
not sure if the evo supports this.
I personally run a SSD and several hard drives for storage.
I'm sorry, but what geofelt is saying makes no sense. Pretty much NO data and most games get any benefit from being on an SSD, so why would you waste your money buying a larger SSD to put them on there. I find that a 120GB SSD (60GB for windows 7 / 40GB for windows 8, leaving 60-80GB of storage) is the sweet spot for installing the OS, all my programs, and the few games that actually are useful to have on a SSD.
Then you can buy plenty of HDD storage, which is going to be more than sufficient for loading documents and other data, and the only thing it would affect with other games are initial loading, and loading screens. (But honestly, if you load into a FPS map first, you still have to wait for everybody else to load.)
