Hi, I'm just learning about SSD drives. I've read there a lot faster and you should install the operating system on them and most of your programs and that a HDD drive would be best used for storage of photo and video files.

I don't think it would but I'm not sure, I'm just curious about how ssd drives can work with hdd drives and optical drives. For my new pc I'm considering just getting a SSD drive and using a 3.0 external HDD would this be a good idea?... Read More »
