how much space do you need?

 

what system?

 

That ssd is fine, but there are better drives. Id get a single 500gb like a 660p

The ssd is decent quality but not the fastest. 

 

A common combination is a 250GB ssd for boot, system and programs paired with 1TB or 2TB hdd for larger games and other data.

The SSD you're choosing should fit your needs

This all depends on use case.

 

Generally a lot of people use a 256/512 GB SSD with a seperate HDD for bulk storage (games etc)

 

However it depends on A) how much you want to spend and B) what you need it for

 

from my experience (i think theres a video LTT did that had some benchmarks) game load times are impacted but minimally imo, Not justifiable of the extra cost at least.

 

If you have a lot of Disk IO heavy use cases, then SSDs can be beneficial.

 

Id personally never go for anything less than 500gb for a boot drive, then seperate storage options for general Data, but thats just me, i tend to find i fill 256gb quite quickly even if most of my data is dumped on seperate drives.

3!

Put OS and frequently used programs on SSD, everything else goes on Hdd. (also remember to set Steam default install location on Hdd.
