Hello again LTT. What should I use a 2TB Seagate BarraCuda Compute for and what should I put on one 1TB 970 Evo Plus (I'm getting two) and what should I put on another 1TB 970 Evo plus?

SSD: everything that needs speed

HDD: small files, stuff where speed doesn't matter (much).

 

So for most people that means programs and games go on your SSD, while videos/documents/photos/etc. go your HDD.

I need 4TB for work and user profiles, as I will not be the only one using my PC. Others will be using...very high storage programs *cough*C4D, AE, games*cough*. Also, I do know a lot about SSD and HDD. I just have read many conflicting articles and such and I wanted a second opinion. Please do not try to start a 🔥 war.
