Hi guys,
I'm trying to figure out the best way of utilising a 256GB SSD in my system primarily used for gaming as well as video/audio editing. The options so far are:
-1: Use the Intel SRT technology on my motherboard (Asus P8Z68-V) to cache my main HD (1TB 7200RPM) then use the remaining space for my Steam drive. This would give me the best performance for games as well as decent OS and other program performance.
-2: Clone OS to SSD along with Steam drive and as many other programs as I can fit. Best performance overall but less performance from programs not on the SSD.
Basically, does using SRT provide any significant advantages over just putting the entire OS on the SSD or should I just use the second option above?
Any help/advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
