only ssd's

[Optimusgrime]

hey everyone im going for a complete minimal build to upgrade my current rig and was just wondering if 1. its possible and 2. know any faults with having a (close to) 1tb ssd for storage and a 120gb model for boot drive.

thanks for your input and will respond as fast as poss

It is possible, but I would up the 120gb to a 240gb because Windows updates take up quite a bit of space. I had that issue with my first build. Once I swapped to 240 I was good.

1.It definately is possible with your computer,basically good on any computer with SATA  

2.I don't see a fault with going with that

You're welcome! Hope you have fun with the new build.

hi @Gaurav S Rao thanks  time to ssd hunt now

[Changis]

agreed, get atleast 250 gb, ssd's starts to lose speed when you start filling them over 60-70%

[Optimusgrime]

@changis thanks bud yeah did not think that far in advance so thankyou.

Go for it.
As somebody who has done it, I find the only downside is everything else is so slow to me now. Loading times on consoles and my NAS for example.
Getting an all SSD NAS is going to be something I do in the future. I just cant stand slow transfer speeds these days.

@Antistatic12 yeah bud i cant wait now ! as im currently using a old 1tb hdd so going to be a best haha

I went to that option.

But I have 250GB M2 for Windows, then 250gb +480gb ssd for games and stuff.

 

I decided for that, because I wanted to have the most silent PC.

 

It will work just great.

But if yu are person like me, who wathes a lot of TV series and movies ... invest those 150$ for 4TB WD MyCloud and have more than enough space for that kind of stuff. And you can put it in another room, so you won't be bothered by the noise of it.

@Simon771 hi bud im a super minimal person ie. i tend to only have the current games i play installed and occasionally a movie or some music so dont think i even need 1tb storage but just incase i start or need the space its there :D. but thanks for your input and maybe down the line something to invest in for when i upgrade agian no doubt i will :).
