Modifié par Moosey7103 : 7/30/2014 10:35:19 PMIf I remember right, the Samsung beats the Crucial. As for size, 256GB is adequate for most rigs, as long as you plan to store big media files/libraries on a HDD. However, if you have the money for a 512GB, do it. More is always better, with regards to storage space. Personally, I'd put all my software on the SSD, and use the HDD for storing just data files (music, movies, pictures, documents, etc.). As for the 7mm drive in a 9.5mm sled, you shouldn't have a problem. The mounting holes should be in the same spots (if they're not, you don't want the drive, it's not built to industry standards), the drive just isn't as tall. I just recently pulled a 7mm HDD that failed, and put a better 9.5mm drive in it's place (in a laptop, even more cramped, and used a drive sled). In case you're interested, here are some of my favorite benchmarking and review sites: [url=http://www.phoronix.com]Phoronix[/url] [url=http://www.smallnetbuilder.com]SmallNetBuilder[/url] [url=http://www.tomshardware.com]Tom's Hardware[/url] [url=http://www.cpubenchmark.net]CPU Benchmark[/url] That last one features a searchable list comparing hundreds of CPUs, GPUs, RAM, and other components. The data is submitted by users who run a benchmarking suite and upload the data to the site for comparison. It's one of my favorite sites to visit when I'm having a hard time making up my mind about specific components.

1 commentaireYour last two: Should be able to find mounting bracket adapters at any computer store for three bucks. I think Steam and all the game data needs to be installed to the same directory. You can install Steam directly to your HDD and add the desktop and start menu shortcuts during the install process. Really, for just running the Steam client, you aren't going to get any real performance increase throwing it on your SSD over the HDD.

1 commentairebuy the largest that you can afford id go with the samsung but that's only because ive had good experiences with then in the past it isn't great practice, but since the ssd doesn't move, it doesn't really need to be bolted down there's an option in the steam menus to change game install directory, and it will ask you where to install the game every time you download a new one also, learn2symlink

5 commentairesHere's an alternative: get a hybrid HDD. You get the best of both worlds.

Don't waste your money on a SSD.

Modifié par DeChief : 7/29/2014 5:09:52 PMYou can set up Steam to access games from another partition, that I am sure of, but as for accessing games on a completely different HDD/SSD, I'm not so sure. Also, you should put the games on the SSD rather than the HDD to make load times shorter.

If you can get the 512gb then get it. That way you can store everything on it

512GB's are usually expensive as hell. But whatever you need. If you want to have your OS and a bunch of games and applications on your SSD, then the bigger the better, as having those things on an SSD lower loading/boot up time. But overall, if your putting an OS and few games, 256gb is good
