Hello,
I recently purchased an OCZ Vertex 4 (240GB), which I'm using as my boot device, and for gaming. I also have a 1TB 7200 RPM HDD. I'm trying to decide what I should be using the HDD for.
I'm aware that an SSD has limited read/write cycles in its lifetime, but I'm really not too clear on much else. I am currently using the HDD for storage of files and downloads, as they tend to takeup much space. That being said, should I install programs that do not need the extra .100 second opening time reduction to the HDD? I'm certainly not conservative in use of space (as demonstrated by my 500GB of data on my HDD), so I'm just looking for some advice on how to get the most out of my SSD and maximize the use of my HDD with it.
Thanks in advance,
Collin Biedenkapp
