Hi!
I have a Lenovo W530 Thinkpad 32GB RAM. It came with a 16GB mSATA and a 500GB HDD. I recently swapped out the HHD for a 2TB Crucial SSD. It's blazing fast now which is great. I have ordered a Newmodeus 2nd HDD / SSD Caddy because I wanted to utilize the 500GB HDD as well.
My question is this:
What is the best way to set up this computer? There will be a lot of read and write going on because I use the laptop to render really large images (10+GB). I would typically think that I should leave the read and write to the HDD so as not to wear out the SSD, however, with 2TB of space on the SSD, it seems like that would be a lot of wasted space to only run the OS on it. I want the laptop to be as fast as possible while utilizing both drives but I also want to ensure the longevity as well.
Does anyone have a good solution for this? Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated
Thanks!
