Been looking around online and havent found any real good info. And im a bit green on a few things.
Currently im running a crucial c300 64gb sata3 ssd. I have my profile split so it only runs the OS and apps. However im running with only about 27% open on the drive. And im feeling the need to reinstall some games and some new apps.
Options im looking at but not sure are:
1) I believe there is a possible way to install apps on regular hdd's. If its not to hard to setup with games and apps I can try it out. I have about 800gb of my profile drive to install on. Pro's of this is save 500 bucks and setup time, but im very green on this, from setup time and tech level needed to do it, if possible, and if theres unknown issues that may arise with how apps write data.
2) I can buy a larger better ssd(256gb). And instead of splitting profile i can enjoy the faster write read/write speeds on files i work on off the desktop. Of course i'd likely use the hdd's for 4gb+ type files ... My question with this route is if i dont split profile and run it normal, what are second gen sata3 longevity times. 3-5 years or less? Or should i just get larger ssd and still split profile and use ssd only for app-games?
Im running win7 on a marvell 9128 controller board, and should support trim and all that. Was thinking the crucial m4 for drive...
Looking for any thoughts/feedback. Be greatly appreciated since im having no luck on the google front.
