I'm going to finally get an SSD but I'm having trouble deciding on a size. I'm putting my OS on it for sure. Do you guys think putting games on it is worth the extra price? I have a rapidly growing steam collection. What size would you recommend? I was looking a 240gb for a while but now I'm considering a smaller size. What are your thoughts?
Thanks!
120gb then get a mechanical drive for storage
Thats what I've been thinking. I have 2tb drive right now. Been thinking of getting the Corsair Neutron GTX. I assume its not really worth putting games on?
not really unless for some reason you want really fast loading times
When i was looking for a drive I went for a drive with maximum random reads simply because that is whats going to contribute to fast boot times. Thats why i ended up with a Samsung 840 evo 120Gb. I personally believe that you're going to be better off getting a drive with quicker reads since you're going to be booting up pretty much every day. As far as size i really dont see the problem with 120Gb since its gonna hold everything that you're ever going to need the performance for.
If you have the money for a 240gb, then grab one. OS + apps + a fair few games.. Easy enough to use steam-mover if you want to shift stuff around.
