SSD only or SSD+HDD with "Intel EZ Smart Response"

[pernissila]

Hi,

I recently bought a new system. My problem is that is only have an 120 gb SSD drive installed. I ran out of money 😉

Should i get another bigger SSD drive or should i go cheaper and buy a 1T HDD?
My motherboard, a Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z87, supports Intel EZ smart response. I think 😛

Keep your 120gb SSD and put stuff you don't need to access quickly on a new HDD. That's what I do and aside from the fact that it takes time to transfer games to and from the SSD, it works and it's a cheap alternative for now.

So no need for the Intel smart response?

Yes, I guess it's useful and beneficial if you have it.
