What would be better?

Post by InspectahACE »

As the title states...

For sure I'm grabbing this one for the OS only( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820139112 ) ...But Im wondering if I should get it's 128GB sibling( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820139109 ) to compliment it for games and keep the VelociRaptor for other storage needs . So should I do that OR just stick with the 64GB and the VR?

I would go with the latter.

64 is more than enough for a boot drive

well yea that is my intent to use it as :P..I was thinking whether or not I should grab a 128 to throw my games on there too while the VR would be misc storage.

the OS is only ~15GB max so you can still put several games on it, just put the games you use most frequently if you do put some on (no necessity to have games on either though, the drive is not super important)
