Going to be picking up a new SSD today. The question I have is will I get better performance from the SSD by installing ONLY the OS (W8.1 64 bit) oppose to installing the OS as well as programs/drivers?
Will the SSD operation faster with just the OS installed in it alone?
Maybe I should install my programs on just a HDD and save the SSD for the the OS alone?
Opinions please.
Thanks in advance.
