SSD + HDD combinations?!

Hello,

Recently Microsoft has announced (awhile ago) that their Windows 10 updates are going to have a big sizes, therefore, I've been looking at some specific sized Solid state drivers and Hard drive combinations.

I know that Samsung solid state drivers are pretty darn good, and I've been looking at getting the EVO 860 that is 1TB's which goes for 154.90€ and 2TB HDD which is Seagate Barracuda and costs 58.90€ which would be good addition to my current PC (the hard driver) because of the fact that then I can move all of the recordings to my 2TB HDD.

opinions?

sounds good to me

what to recommend depends on your budget ofc but those are pretty neat imo and provide some decent storage options

I'll be buying a mobo that supports M.2 too, so either x470 (for budget) and x570 for later upgrade when i have money, as currently my 215 GB is down to 12 GB =/

while youre at it id suggest not completely filling the ssd as it is not good for its health and speeds suffer too

I'd suggest getting a dedicated Windows OS SSD just to leave for only the OS (M.2 would be great for this) and then using a second SSD to boot games you play frequently and keep your HDD as mass storage, although you could probably buy 1TB SSDs cheap now since they aren't too expensive anymore.

I'll be getting an M.2 for OS, yeah.

What does this have to do with anything that was in the thread? I wasn't asking "Healthy" harddriver advice.

Small SSD Storage for OS then files and shit on normal Drives. my bad didnt specify.
If like you say the windows updates are going to get huge then go for that 1tb samsung, but 250gb is good for now.

why you didn't choose nvme ?

a combo that is super reliable for me is the Western Digital 1TB HDD + a 500 gb samsung 850 Evo. Great speeds and quite affordable in my opinion but it all depends on your budget

'cause the motherboard does not support it.

I have the same ssd you chose, it works well.
HDD's imo don't matter as much as ssd's, just get a good and stable company that you know won't scam you with some fishy hdd that gets corrupted in 2 years.
I feel like the HDD doesn't have to be brand name, but make sure you're getting a reviewed and trusted HDD.
If you don't want to deal with the hassle of reading reviews and watching vids on yt, then getting a brand name hdd will be easier.

change motherboard and go for evo plus its crazy fast

That's what I use as well. The SSD (from what I remember) is ~55$ and the HDD is about the same price range. You won't have to spend more than 150$ to get them both.
