what to do with Spare SSD?

xD3S1x · 5 Jan 2013 at 16:39

System Specs:
Asus Sabertooth Z77
i7 3770k
16GB RAM
128GB Samsung SSD [OS + Programs]
2x 2TB HDD [ 1x for General Files + Games and 1x for Recording/Rendering Videos]

i've got a spare Corsair 120GB Force Series 3 SSD..

any idea where i can put this for a good use in my system?

Installing Games? or anything else?

For a start set caching and pagefile (if you use one) to that drive only.
Games is a good idea

If you run VMs this would be perfect.

I have a couple of vms and my downloads folder on my spare. The downloads folder is good as zips extract quickly.

i've moved the caching to my 1TB drive and disabled pagefile.. do i need pagefile?

Most certainly not. System would be faster with caching on an SSD tho

Replace the disk drive with your spare SSD on your laptop if you have one?

you could raid0 your current ssd? or keep the corsair as purely a back up drive for your samsung ssd?

haha thanks for ideas guys..

i have installed it but still don't know what to do..
was gonna move the games over but game folder size is already over 170GB so...

was thinking of making a mirror copy of my main one but it would be a waist as i dont have anything important on my main SSD and if it fails i will just reinstall windows...

i might replace it with the one is my old system.. i've got F60 in that system which running of Sata II
