Why this?

Epic_Nex

Someone suggested this setup for me, I only wanted it to do 720p at about 60fps. But anyways, he put a SSD and a hard drive in it.. why? and how would that even work?

Who the heck though that that build was good? a 280X is more of a 1080P card that will handle High to Ultra settings in a game.

It really depends on your uses for 720P at 60FPS

A system can have more than one drive, an Optical Drive (DVD Player) is a drive. They just work separately (unless in RAID). SSD for fast boot times and for games that take long to load, HDD for fast games and bulk storage because SSDs are expensive gb/$.

 

Also please start a thread in new builds and planning because I know LTT members can design a way better system than that. Makesure to follow the template in the stickied thread.

To answer your question why someone would have both SSD and HDD in same system? Because SSDs price/gb ratio is still weaker than HDDs. So getting 256gb SSD and 1-2Tb of HDD is really nice combination. You can go for 480-312Gb SSDs if there is many heavy programs you are using constantly. But system would still need HDD space. Ofc you can leave HDD out. But if you have even basic music collection, some pics taken for few years, maybe want to record gaming or otherwise store video, SSD will become full very soon.

 

As for how it is physically possible. Even smaller cases and basic mobos can handle 4 drives. Most mobos have 6-8 ports for it. Basic ATX case holds 4-8 drives easily. With SATA devices one port means one device. They are congfigured first in BIOS as which is used to boot to OS and then in OS to which is used to store OS' basic functions and which is for storage and less used software.
