SSD OS and Game Allocation Question

NuclearCouch · June 13, 2016

All I'm wondering is, I have a 120gb ssd currently with the OS and like 3 games installed. I'm getting a 500gb ssd tomorrow to go along with the 120gb. Should I leave the games on the 120gb ssd with the OS, or just move them all over to the 500gb ssd.

I guess what I'm asking is, will the OS be faster if it is just alone on it's own SSD?

Not much. SSD is fast and games and OS don't constantly read/write on your drives. But you can potentially have some gain. Try to move one game and check performance. I don't think it will be a huge difference.

There is no benefit to move it away from it.

But in case u want to keep all games seperate from software and OS make sure u do it in a way you can play the games without redownloading them ie. create new library in steam/origin/uplay client on new ssd before u move the games (look it up so u know exactly how)

I didnt do it correctly once and had to redownload whole BF4 (40GB+ including all the expansions...) on my shitty 16mbps connection....it took me over 8 hours...
