OS on which drive?

[OskarE.R]

I want to fresh install my OS and start my Samsung SSD from scratch.

-i5-6600k 3.5ghz (Overclocked to 4.5)

 

-RX480 strix 8gb

 

- samsung 850 evo 250gb ssd

 

- crucial p2 2tb m.2

 

-asus z170 motherboard

 

-evga g2 650watt psu

 

-Aurora Fenix case

 

-BenQ zowie 1440p 144hz

Overall its not really going to matter. General rule for me is I want my OS on the fastest, snappiest drive possible and these days its NVMe SSD's. I have a 2TB SATA SSD for bulk storage and less played games. 

 

If I was you i'd install it on your Crucial and just manage what you put where.

 

Ultimately its not going to matter.

will it matter if my games and os are from the same drive though? that's ultimately what I'm concerned about

Operationally, no. The only concern is if you want to do a quick windows wipe you’d have to move them or just download them again. 
 

Up to you, I’d probably just buy a larger SATA SSD for games in your situation.

That makes sense. I think i'll do the OS on the 250gb samsung for easy wipes. Thanks for that!

Its nice splitting your OS and games / data on a different drives because it makes backups so much easier.
