They could be putting them in as a RAID to either have increased speed or data redundancy. They could also have a small one as a boot drive and another as fast storage. Depends on the purpose of the build. But usually RAID is the reason.

Wow, some serious thought went into this. 

So you can swim times get storage cheaper if you buy twice half of the size you need. Or you can use it in a RAID array to increase storage security(drive failures!)/ gain higher speed in RAID 0. Or you can do it because you want to build a show rig and two SSDs look cooler than one.

1. FOLLOW your own topics                                                                                2.Try to QUOTE people so we can read through things easier
3.Use PCPARTPICKER.COM - easy and most importantly approved here        4.Mark your topics SOLVED if they are                                Don't change a running system
