Question 1tb ssd or 250GB ssd + 1TB Hdd

[josephpelton4thewin]

Title basically says it. A 1TB ssd goes for around $120-$130 on amazon right now, but to buy a 250GB ssd and 1TB Hdd would cost around $100 also. Which would be the better choice? I already have a 250GB western Digital Hdd that i could use for a "backup" at least for the os. And i don't really want to transfer games or files that much. Are there any downsides to just going with 1 large ssd instead of the recommended setup?

Some people (me) prefer one drive for the OS and applications, another drive or two for other stuff and games.
Other people prefer a single drive for everything.

The single 1TB SSD is fast across the whole 1TB space.

'better choice' is all up to you.

IMO, there are no downsides, only positives: One Drive letter to deal with. No moving games to/from the HDD. No out of space issues on the small SSD. No hassels with windows storing stuff on the small SSD anyways and using up space....

Thanks for the input, i think i'll buy a bigger ssd and not deal with a second, (except a backup in the future).
