SSD Configuration Question

[Dreyrden]

Hi

I've been looking into getting an SSD and I was wondering if there is any particular reason to have the following configuration:
-Boot SSD (capacity ~ 60GB)
-Application/Game SSD (capacity ~ 120GB)
as opposed to having a single larger capacity ssd?

The first setup does lose a bit of capacity but if one of the SSD's fails you don't lose everything? Especially if you back up your programs somewhere? I'm not quite sure if this is the right line of thinking?

If it were me I'd just get one larger SSD.

I'd back up your programs on a hard drive too.

SSDs are fairly reliable now - especially Intel drives and the Crucial M4 for instance

What's the samsung drive like? I've heard that's pretty reliable too
