SSD for Games

I have had a ssd as my boot drive for sometime now so impressed with the silence and speed just bought another for games

Do i just connect it and power up and format like i have done a million times with conventional hard drives , or is there some special way of doing it ?

Yes, just plug and play. Can I ask how big your games SSD is?

Yes my boot drive is 60gb and the new games drive is 120gb.

I'd recommend that you just keep an eye on space and uninstall/move to another drive the games that you aren't using

. Oh, and if you use Steam you can use GameSaveManager or SteamMover to make it so not all games that use Steam are running off the SSD to save some space.

i still have 2 x samsung f3 1tb drives in my system . The games i play the most will be on the ssd and the others on the normal drives , i have 45 steam games they take up just over 200gb .

Ill get a bigger ssd in the future , but right now im happy :-)
