Is there a reason why most of the newer computers have at least one spinner? Does having both drives as SSD's provide any gain other than less heat.

It seems to provide no performace gain.

According to your computer specs, you have 32 GB of RAM. And you already had one SSD. Both of those factors will give you a very fast computer. Therefore, it is understandable that you might not have seen much if any performance gain when you added a 2nd SSD, because you already had a very fast machine prior to installing the 2nd SSD.

Thanks,

I was hoping to reduce the heat mostly so this speed demon would last a few more years. My weakest area now is the graphics. With the monitor at 120hz there isn't really any need for anymore updates.

I have been looking at going back to a desktop next.

Thanks Everyone for your assistance.

If you want to improve your graphics, you need a good graphics card. That means that you need to either buy a laptop with a good graphics card built in, or buy a desktop and pick your own graphics card.
