Hi guys..
I've been in the process of building my first watercooled PC and then after I ordered everything the new Maximus VI Formula caught my eye so I've been holding out for that. With that due to arrive tomorrow I thought a fresh install of windows would go well just so I'm starting with a clean slate.
Well, Rather than just start again I'm not sure if its worth it but a new SSD perhaps.
I currently have the crucial M4 128Gb version from a two years ago and I know that sizes have increased along with performance and prices have dropped.
My biggest problem was that my Steam/Origin folder took up too much space and so ended up shift everything around with my backup drive.
Would it be worth me buying something like the 256Gb Samsung Pro 840 and having that for my games and then keep the M4 as my windows/boot drive or would you do it the other way round?
I know that the Samsung has much greater performance figures and so my system would probably benefit more from that being the boot drive and then the games on the M4....? confused.com to say the least.
I don't want to get the SamPro 840 and then have a load of space on it thats unused and my lower performing M4 128Gb get full up.
Ideas/help/advice please?
edit: can you partition SSDs or is it not the same as old HDDs ?
