SSD+HDD Benefits?
I've bought a PC and it came with 120GB of SSD memory,That's ovbiously not enough so I'm getting a 1TB HDD soon.I know the benefits of SSD memory but do they go away if I add in an HDD?
And I'm not buying an SSHD,just have an SSD and adding an HDD

There is no downside. The OS will stay on the ssd and use the full ssd space as everything on the ssd. The HDD will work as secondary drive for mass storage having no downside next to the ssd. Just everything on the HDD will load slower then stuff on the ssd simply by the normal performance.

So having my OS on SSD doesn't speed up my HDD?Just wondering

Not really how should it. Well the OS stuff loads faster but that has nearly no impact on the HDD. The HDD is limited by the time you need to spin and to read the right sectors on the disk and also finding them. How is a sad suppose to speed it up? Because of a ssd the HDD not magically can spin faster or read the sectors faster.

I have a 250 GB SDD and one 6 TB HDD in my PC. The SDD stores my OS and the Steam game i currently play. All other games are installed on the other HDD. When i want to play something i move it to the SDD and then back after i am finished with the game.
Works well that way and i dont need a bigger SDD for gaming.

I do it similar just that I move the game into my RAM (most expensive way as you need slot of RAM for a RAm disk). Reality however is, that most games does not profit from a SSD. Some are not limited by the Read speeds but the time the game engine needs to load with the CPU like Hearts of Iron. Multi-player games load faster with a ssd but you just have then to wait longer for a match to start because somebody has still a slow HDD or even worse an IDE HDD so that your loading times does not matter at all. And other games like Mass Effect Andromeda pre-load loading points. Having a SSD change the loading time from 2sec down to 1sec.


The games that profit from a SSD you can count with the fingers.

Hm not in my experience, especially Mass Effect Andromeda profits a lot. There is like a 30 second difference between loading the game from a HDD or the SDD for me.
Its even worse in Dragon Age Inquisition where the difference is actually nearly 3 minutes during region changes and similar.
Also i play a lot of strategy games and most of them profit a lot from SDD loading times.

Its true that there are games where you dont even notice a difference, mainly older games but i still prefer to copy over games to my SDD for gaming. Cant hurt.

Hmm strange with Mass Effect Andromeda. I must admit that it it sits on my Samsung 960 Evo but there I have no loading time at all. I see the loading screen only for a split second besides the loading screens where the loading is determined by the unstoppable cutscene.


However that experience also differs to rest of the hardware and the used HDD. A good WD gold I used has a seq. Read speed of 270MB/s while my trash data gave is a slow WD Blue 5600RPM and only reads with 150MB/s...
