SSd speed?

[Holographic]

Hello. I want to buy an ssd.for gaming. My question is if my operating system is on an hdd but I have my second drive an ssd with all my games on it,will the games still load faster due to the ssd or will the hdd bottleneck it somehow. Thx

When I think about it, I was never impaitent about my games' load-time. If that's the only beneficial thing when it comes to gaming, there's really no point to it.

Or I'll just use the whole 1TB SSD for everything and shut the hell up already!

once you put the OS and apps/programs on a ssd, you'll never use a hdd for OS again.

There's no reason for this anyway, nowadays.

No, there is much more to it then "initial load times"
Just like there is more to SSD then "better OS boot times"
Hard to explain. But if you don't have games that use a ton of in-game prefecting, dont' worry about it much. Games like GTAV, Witcher3, Skyrim w/ Mods, Arma3... and open world games.

1TB SSD are nice, but you still want the OS drive to always be setup for "if it dies or my OS gets screwed, I'm not losing anything I can get from a backup, or redownload. But even with saving stuff to HDDs you care about, it too needs to be backed up elsewhere, if its really that important.

Try telling those folks on here who we try to help suggest building a PC...

"Oh i'm fine with a WD Blue 1TB, I dont need the speeds of SSD; I'll maybe get an SSD later" yea NO... if anything u get just an SSD now, then add more HDD storage later on when your budget allows. Always get the SSD first, so the OS can go here.

Lucky me, I guess. I don't play open-world games. And I'll make sure to pin that tip in my head, about what if my OS drive gets screwed. Everything needs to be backed up at some point.

I'll make sure of that in the future if I'll find someone regarding building a new PC!

ssd vs hdd is like playing 480p your whole life and going to 1080p. You nver go back. it's literally that kinda differance.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Yea; think Win95 @ 640x480 -vs- a modern OS at 1080p
OMG, where you been all my life...

Kind of staying primitive...

One thing that comes to my mind, though. How well is a single drive organized when everything in it is installed: System, games, music, media, and whatever else that one is using/saving in a single drive?

There's no real organizational difference between having games on d: or c:\games.

Organized for you or organized for the computer?

In general. Games you install (Steam or Origin) go to Program Files (x86). Programs and other softwares to the same directory as well. But what about savefiles, all the trash/temp files that the PC keeps, Appdata, Roaming, all that crap.

It will put savegames in appdate and my documents anyway it doesn't matter if the game is installed on C:/ or D/:.

Basically, using a single drive is the same as using a second drive for everything else except in a single drive case, you install everything?

Exacly the same only difference between 1 and 2 drives/partitions is that you will have to make programs to install to D:/ instead of C:/ which can be a pain in the ass if you need to install a lot and forget to change it. And if C:/ breaks or Windows get corrupted the data on D:/ can be saved.
