How to use a computer with a nvme m.2 and a sata ssd hard drive? Just a little confused so many types of hard drives don't know what to use for a gaming or what to use for what if I have multiple hard drives

Hi,

First, storage has little impact on gaming, just screen swap and boot times. Recommendation is to go with an SSD for programs/OS and if needed for larger files like pictures/movies, add a HDD. A SATA 6GB/s is fine. m.2 drives are faster but they will disable one of your SATA ports on the mobo.
