SSD mx100 for trash-drive?

djxput · 14 Aug 2014 at 16:57

I have a mx100 512 already for my system/game drive.

Clicked the 'buy' button for another before I knew it (saw a good deal and snatched at it).

So before I break the seal ...

I have 5 drives in my system: 1 mx100 512 and the rest are Seagate high capacity drives, 1 aaks WD

1. system/games
2. misc drive
3. large files
4. files from my old systems that I backup
5. trash drive - trash drive is a drive I transfer everything from the net/work/system to and then send it off to one of the other drives - meaning it gets used a lot.

atm using an old aaks WD drive - so I could either use one of my new seagates (now have 1 3tb 7200rpm or 2 4tb 5900rpm) ... or keep this other mx100 512 and use that.

what do you think?

Seems like a total waste of time you don't need the speed and SSD's are more sensitive to large amounts of writes than mech drives.

keep it as a game drive? library will only get bigger

so using the drive for something that will have common writes and deletes would be suggested as it will wear down quicker? - maybe 5 gigs a day.

Could save it for games etc too - my 256 filled up quite quick - why I went for a 512 - would have went larger but 512 is all crucial did for the mx100.
