You won't be losing speed by getting a fast drive. It will read and write by itself.

I have a cheap 256gb SATA SSD as my boot drive with an HDD for storage.

My SSD is always almost full and I was thinking on upgrading it with a 960 evo 1tb to install games and programs like visual studio, photoshop, unity and so.

 

Will the speed of the 960 evo be slowed to the boot drive SSD's one because in the end, the games still have to communicate with Windows.

 

Will I be better off only having the 960 evo?

 

I wanted to keep the old ssd for easiness in formating and not losing programs installed.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
