Yo,
So I have a 500GB SSD specifically for games, and I can only really get a handful on it these days, and I'm terrible for picking random games to play and not sticking to a couple only. And living out in the sticks, deleting and uninstalling is out of the question as it takes an age!
Anyway, I could snap up a 4TB HDD to put alongside the SSD and use the 4TB drive for the majority of games, such as Skyrim, Mass Effect etc, stuff that doesn't really depend upon read speeds. And use the SSD for online games like For Honor, BF1 etc.
Or is it not worth getting a mechanical drive? Will I regret going back to a 7,200rpm drive? It's read is 172mb/s, which, once you take the marketing guff off. It's realistically something like 150mb/s.
Unsure!
