SSD and HDD

[fafa341]

Hello, I had a question before I buy a new ssd.
1- Can I have an ssd for booting, windows 10 and also for some games, and my hdd for other games and applications?
2- Can my ssd and hdd work at the same time? like play a game using the ssd and use chrome in my hdd at the same time?

1 - Yes
2 - Yes

It is a common setup to use an SSD, say ~250GB, as their system drive (OS, applications, utilities, and very selected games esp. if you got a low-capacity SSD), and pair that with a high-capacity HDD, say ~1TB, for general storage, other applications or games.

Yes You can use a good number of drives which is limited by number of SATA ports. Unless you use PCIE cards to add more.
