Hi guys i just wants to know whether can i put ssd and hdd into 1 cpu/system/machine ?
we noe that hdd is slow and ssd is compact and fast.

Just want to boost game loading times plus the windows and its app.

If you have enough SATA connections, sure.

^^^Exactly.
OP here's a screen shot of my system. C and E are SSD's but G is a HDD. They mesh perfectly together.

i always have an SSD as my boot drive. i always move my documents and desktop to a mechanical or my server so if i have to reinstall ever, i can be back up in running in about 7 minutes and my data is safe and sound on an array. call me old fashion, but i still don't trust my documents and critical data to an SSD. just go to c:\users\%username% and right click each of your folders like desktop, downloads, etc, properties, location tab, then you can select a folder anywhere else and windows will treat that as the normal location, updating all of your libraries and such so everything automatically goes there and you're none the wiser! :)

like i said though, that's just me because whenever i update an OS i reinstall from scratch, or if i do major system changes (which happens often with the toys i get), i don't have to do any backup or restoring, just point my folders after reinstall. :D

The CPU is the chip beneath the somewhat larger heatsink and fan. It's difficult to put things in it, apart from electrons :)

Ah sorry..... put 2 drive into 1 motherboard.

Definitely check and make sure that your motherboard has more than 2 SATA connectors. I've seen OEM motherboards (the ones that come inside of a pre-built Dell, HP, etc) that had only two SATA connectors...and your optical drive needs one of them.;)
