Question about SSD

[choliscott]

I am thinking of getting an SSD & had a question about what you would put on it. I know the OS gets loaded & any program that requires to be installed on the OS drive, but do you install all your apps on it, just certain ones or if the SSD is big enough, install it to that.

Also same thing for data, I would assume that docs, music, video & pictures would be stored on another drive.

Thanks

All depends on how much stuff you want installed, and how big the SSD is. For instance I have a 120GB SSD for my C drive and it holds Windows, all my applications and all my "libraries" (My Documents, etc.). It also has World of Warcraft on it (though I no longer play it). It is around 3/5 full right now. If I only had a 60GB SSD, then of course it wouldn't fit it all and I'd have to start choosing what to put on there, or even uninstalling stuff I may no longer use.

Like you mentioned a 60 GB would be too small, as just Windows 7 & all of the updates & Office & all of the updates are using 36.7 gigs. I haven't decided on a size yet.
