I am going to be putting together a gaming rig soon, with a budget of about $1800. I was considering getting a 128GB SSD for a boot drive and then 1TB HDD for storage, because that is what is normally recommended, but then again, I am ONLY using this rig for gaming. All my music, pics, everything else that needs a computer is going to be done on my laptop, it just sucks with gaming (hence the rig). With this in mind, I figured instead I should get just a single SSD (about 120-250GBs) to store the OS, games, updates, extra junk that goes with any of those because I've been told SSDs are way faster. But I have also been told that SSDs are less reliable. My friend told me I should put any hard drives into RAID0 but I don't know really ANYTHING about RAID, so I was wondering if I could get some advice on that too. Again, these drives will ONLY be storing games, OS, and any updates/extras that go with either of those.
Thank you in advance! All advice will be helpful!
