[SOLVED] A tale of two drives. SSD and a 7200RPM which one to use where?

[icr8stf]

I have two drives, a SSD and a 7200rpm drive. I plan on using them in the same workstation. Which one would be best for the boot and the other to handle swap and files?

Uses for the system... video editing occassionally, 3D Modeling (Maya) as well as the Adobe CC suite.

I have a strong idea, but wanted to get some other tech inputs here.

Thank you.

Everything on the SSD? : P

Perhaps knowing what models of drives and what sizes they are would help. At the very least, the OS and applications should be installed to the SSD though, and it's most likely going to be best if temporary files are kept on that drive as well. The 7200RPM drive will be significantly slower, particularly for at anything involving lots of random reads or writes. It should generally be fine for bulk file storage though.

OS an applications on the SSD.
Depending on size, this is also where your working files are.

All else, on the HDD.

So, what size drives are these?
