When I built this PC, I started from scratch and just copied my data over once windows was installed. My Media and back ups (separate drives) are in an external NAS.

The secondary drive with iTunes, user data, files etc would be sitting about 1/2 full ~1TB used. That's with all my currently installed games and their data and zero user data/files. If I buy 2x 2TB SSD's and simply replace my HDD's as currently configured, my Primary "C" drive would be sitting around 1/4 full ~512GB used. Of course, plan for future growth of the C partition, but only you know how fast that might be. This might be one or more HDDs rather than an SSD if expense enters the picture.īackup-likely external, likely large HDD.
You can get 2 TB SSDs for as little as $200 at times. Probably a single partition, split into folders. To include iTunes, video, mp3, whatever you have. I don't.ĭata drive- internal, preferably SSD, and preferably just one drive. Mostly depending on if you keep data on C. Currently at 38, but was at 31 a month ago-mostly contingent on what Windows Update has in mind. My C has varied between 30 and 45 GB for the last 10 years. That might be as small as a 256 GB drive or as large as 1 TB-depending on how much space your installed applications require. But-I'm not sure if the speed difference is even noticeable in the real world.īoot drive: An SSD large enough to hold Windows and ALL installed programs, perhaps half filled. I suppose the fastest SSD speeds would be obtained with the latest generation of M.2 drives-but as far as I know, they are supported only on certain AMD motherboards, not Intel. Those screws are supplied with the motherboard, not the drive-I could not locate it and they are extremely difficult to replace because each board manufacturer uses their own specific screw-they are not standardized. The only reason I used the card was that I could not find the tiny screw used to affix my M.2 drive to the motherboard. Specifically, a SIIG M.2 NGFF SSD M Key NVMe PCIe 3.0 x 4 Card Adapter. You can likely use two M.2 drives-one in the supplied port and another via an add-on card. Your drive could fail in 5 minutes or not in your lifetime. That could be true in any given case, but it's rank speculation. I would NOT assume SSDs have a shorter life span. The M.2 and SSD's I'm looking at curently are all Crucial MX500's or variations thereof.
#MALWAREBYTES MANUAL UPDATE 3.12 HOW TO#
I know how to partition and divide up disks, but I would like to keep this as simple as possible since my current case has 2 hot swap bays at the front, and the new MB has an M.2 slot. I basically want to know if SSD's would good with the minimum of 3-5yrs of use before I have to satrt worrying about swapping it, assuming no catistrophic failures. Not counting the usual writes from Game patches, updates to windows, installing a new program etc. I would estimate I create/Writeto external/Remove maybe 25-50GB a month and thats a bit on the heavy side. I don't do a bunch of writing to disk/data shuffling regularly. I normally swap my HDD's out at 3-5yr intervals. Never having had an SSD before I have no experience with them and it is still of some concern until I have used one and have some first hand knowledge. I know also that that has improved drastically in teh last few years. I know SSD's used to be somewhat less long lived than HDD's. What Im looking for is a speed increase, in boot time and program/game loading times, balanced against lifespan. One bonus to Configuration 2 is, once Windows is installed on the M.2, I can wipe my current 2TB HDD's and repurpose them, thus saving the $100 or so each for new drives. The externals will remain as is and will probably be upgraded to 8TB or 10TB in the next 2-4yrs as they're only half full and are only 2-3 years old. The new Motherboard I am currently looking at has 1 M.2 2280 Slot and 4 6Gbps SATA ports.ġx M.2 1TB - 2TB: OS/Programs/Games, 1x 4TB - 6TB HDD: User Data/iTunes/Backup/Miscġx M.2 1TB - 2TB: OS/Programs/Games, 1x 2TB HDD: User Data/iTunes, 1x 2TB HDD: Backup/Miscġx 2TB SSD: OS/Programs/Games, 1x 2TB SSD: User Data/iTunes/Backup/Misc ITunes Library is currently 330GB, User Data appx ~500GB 1x 2TB WD Black HDD: OS/Programs/Games/User Data (1.02TB Free)ġx 2TB WD Black HDD: iTunes Library/Backup (1.33TB Free)
