Hey Folks so Basically using a P5Q-E Board atm with 2 1TB Drives first one is a 8 Year old Samsung Spinpoint F1 which has 2 Partitions on it one with OS/Programs other is Storage then have a WD Blue 1tb Which i purchased a few months ago will be keeping this it just has a System image/Back-up on it atm but will prob Format it.

Never had a SSD So im skipping a Generation and getting a Samsung 960 Evo M.2 NVME 500gb drive :)

Can you still Partition when Installing Windows i currently have 7 but will be getting 10 for my new System as want to Partition My NVME drive for like 400gb For Games/Programs then the Rest Just for the OS?

Also Think Il pick up another WD Blue 1tb and run it in Raid 1 With my other Drive also what would be the best way to get all the Data i Wish to Keep Pictures/Videos etc from my old drive to the new one and should i set up the Raid Array first?

Yea my Games are on Steam etc and have 2 1tb Drives in RAID 1 For Storage :)

If i Was to get a 250gb M.2 and 250gb SSD Would cost the same amount so may as well get the M.2 as it can Almost half Game load times as well.
 
Thanks for the Reply Im Changing to Windows 10 for my new Build so the drivers shouldn't be a Problem.

I Was Just thinking like 2 Partitions for the NVME 1 For all the Windows stuff then the Second for Games/Programs.

in a Ideal world nobody would use a Mechanical drive but were not all rich so that's why the 2 Drives in Raid 1 for my Documents etc seem the safest bet as a Backup but could be wrong.
