additional storage

[marco.da.man]

good afternoon all
im thinking of what storage i should have with my new build, I have already purchased a crucial m2 275gb ssd for applications but was think should i also have a Blue 1TB 7200rpm SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache HDD - OEM (10EZEX) for photos and then a 250GB 850 EVO SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 32 Layer 3D V-NAND Solid State Drive (MZ-75E250B/EU)for steam and origin games

all suggestions welcome

For mass storage you could just use 5400rpm drive.
Speed difference isn't that big and they're quieter when operating.

As for games you should makes sure drive is bigger than needed.
Unless Steam etc. nowadays allow installing game also elsewhere than their drive.

WD also has bundles of HDD and SSD which might be cheaper than HDD and SSD separately.

And always remember to back up those photos which are important to also other storage device.
Which is also normally "off-line"/separate so that say PSU's break up can't break also it or some virus/malware can't destroy its content.
