so on last black friday i pulled the trigger on a second SSD (samsung evo 840 250gb) installed it and everything and now that i upgraded to w10 i realized im using it to store documents.... yeah, kinda sad... so id like ideas on what to do with it in terms of use.

dualboot, raid 0, make it portable, trade it on craiglist for candies, etc.

 

feel free to pitch in your ideas.

I made mine a steam drive for really big games like GTA

Current: R2600X@4.0GHz\\ Corsair Air 280x \\ RTX 2070 \\ 16GB DDR3 2666 \\ 1KW EVGA Supernova\\ Asus B450 TUF

Old Systems: A6 5200 APU -- A10 7800K + HD6670 -- FX 9370 + 2X R9 290 -- G3258 + R9 280 -- 4690K + RX480

You could store most of your games on it, buy another for a RAID 0 drive, basically whatever you want.

Main PC: i5 4590 @ 3.5 GHz ♦ RX 480 Armor OC ♦ 16 GB DDR3 ♦ GA-Z97-HD3 ♦ 120 GB 840 EVO ♦ 120 GB Intel 520 ♦ W10 Home

Scrapyard PC: Xeon X5460 @ 3.8 GHz ♦ HD 7870 ♦ 8 GB DDR2 ♦ GA-P35-DS3L ♦ 80 GB Intel 320 ♦ 160 GB WD Caviar SE ♦ W10 Home

RAID 0 useless with SSDs... All software and games you use daily. And any other that takes long time to load.
