Got my bundle today...where does the stuff inside go? (specifically the fan)

Thanks for being patient with me.its allup and running now.

just checking, I got two harddrive thingies, the samsumg 120gb and a seagae 1tb (in that order cuz thats how the bundles came, does that matter?)

How do I alternate the two?
 
I meant which drives, cuz the 120gb is gonna be used eventually.

I know that more space generally means faster processing, so even with the 120gb in use it will still recognise the 931gb space?
 
I have to say I'm slightly confused.
The Titan Tanto bundle yes?

I'm assuming you therefore mean that you have the 120Gb Solid state Samsung drive and the 1Tb seagate.
these should both be connected to your motherboard.
The samsung drive should be selected as your boot drive in the BIOS.
You should install your operating system on the 120Gb Samsung.
The other drive will appear in your file directory, It will most likely be drive D:
You will see all the space on both drives if they are correctly connected
 
The Samsung EVO should be classed as your primary drive because it has the OS installed on it (presumably). That drive should have your OS, applications, and a couple of frequently used games.

The Seagate will act as a storage drive for media files etc, and for any games and applications that don't fit on the Samsung. By default everything will go to the Samsung drive, but when you download or save files you can choose to send them to the Seagate drive.
 
Sorry I really dont understand, thats nothing I would have been be to pre-empt. The 1tb says 931gb

I dont know what thus AHCI thing is

1tb is 931gb, because bytes are not round numbers. 1024 bytes so when they say 1tb hdd it actually means a lot less than that in real space terms.

I don't know what exact motherboard you have but botting up in to the BIOS (press ESC or F2, DEL etc will get you in) and AHCI mode is a setting in the SATA ports (for hard drives and SSDs)
 
The 1Tb says 931gb because no drive is the full amount, 1 Tb is 1000Gb, computers use the proper 1024 rather than 1000 advertisers use, also there's always overhead for directory structure.
The drive will appear in your computer and can be saved to like you would any folder/usb/cd
 
1MB = 1000 bytes

In Windows 1MB = 1024 bytes


1TB = 1,000,000,123,456 bytes

Divide this huge number a few times by 1024 and you eventually get 931.32 :D
