Boot Drive Help

[Ben_178]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ThX7qk this is my current part selection. One of the main questions i have is how much do i need for a boot drive. I will only be using the drive to have windows 10 on it and ill be putting the updates on it too. How much space will it take up and how much space do you suggest for it. Thanks

usually a 240/250/256gb ssd is the minimum i would recommend

less than that its not as economical per gb

personally my ssds are 512gb

since its actually not just windows you want on the ssd but programs as well

and to some point games though they dont benefit hugely other than loading times

What programs? Like word, powerpoint, chrome?

all my programs are on there

why would i put them on a second mechanical drive? since would be slower

unless they were using huge files like great big video files or something too large to go on the ssd
