Morning peeps, merry Christmas and all that!
I was hoping to get some guidance on a storage upgrade solution.
Currently I have 1x 1TB HDD, 1x 500gb HDD, 1x 120gb SSD (boot drive) and 1x 500gb SSD.
I use my PC solely for gaming, and it's come to the point where I can't fit all my speed demanding games on my SSD's, meaning some of my games are just slow, due to being on HDDs, which are frankly old anyway (boot drive and 1tb HDD are about 10 years old!).
So I was originally thinking of making use of the M.2 slots on my ROG Crosshair Hero VIII mobo, but being a creature of habit, I can't help but think of getting a little one for the OS. However I keep reading people suggesting one big storage drive is just fine?
What I'm asking for I guess is a few sage words regarding whether I should get a big 2tb M.2 drive, for my OS and whatever games I want to put on there. Or do I get one little one, and one bigger one to keep it all separate?
I don't store anything worth worrying about on my PC, so if it was to fail or anything like that, no worries, I just can't load a save.
So what do I do?
Also if you could suggest WHAT storage drive too, that would be awesome. I can read the numbers just fine on them, but it appears that doesn't necessarily mean it's superior.
Thanks in advance!
