Actually, with a 256Gig SSD you should be able to put your OS and most of your common apps (browser, e-mail, etc) and most of your games on it. Put all of your data - mp3s, mpegs, spreadsheets, etc. - on the data drive (HDD)

I'd suggest, though, that you mostly just put the games you actually use regularly on the SSD.

the H220 fits in the define r4,pretty sure that's what you meant.

 

I've seen multiple build logs with the two.

okay guys, since you know in pcs.. I have another simple question!

Is 265GB SSD (Samsung 840 Pro) enough for gaming? Yes/No. Where shall I install my OS? HDD/SSD? 

 

Much Appreciated!

 

128GB is more than enough if you would to install your games on your HDD.

Install your OS on your SSD.

OS = SSD

Games = HDD

 

*With a 256GB SSD, you could, if you wanted, throw a few on there if you're really not happy with the performance of the HDD.

A sieve may not hold water, but it will hold another sieve.
