One or two SSDs?

[pacpac]

With regards to performance and reliability, would you recommend 1 SSD containing OS, programmes and data or 1 SSD for OS and programmes and a 2nd SSD for data?

Your 2nd HDD for data can be platter drive since it is much cheaper to purchase a 1TB or high GB hard drive for data storage. Unless you want to RAID, the "speed" will only be seen if the OS is on the SSD. If you just have a seperate SSD for storage, then you will not notice much of a speed difference, only convenience if you decide to make it USB to take to go, or soemthing like that because it is so small.

Thank you

I tried to run two Falcons in Raid-0 but since I was using a software Raid and not a hardware Raid, I did a CMOS reset and caused havoc to my striped set. The Falcons in Raid kicked some serious ***, but it was to much of a pain trying to get the boot drive operational again. No fault on the Falcons it’s the BIO's and Intel's Raid software botching things up. But as the Admin said one is more than enough and just use a platter drive for your none pertinent data files. Check out my SSD tweaks and it will walk you through and setting up a platter for a scratch drive.
