optimal settings for 60gb ssd with 1.5 tb hdd
I recently had to do a new installation of W7 because of corrupt registry. I did not have a restore point because of a SSD tweaker that was installed and disabled restore points. Im trying to find out best way to set up my hdd and ssd so i can utilize back up software on the hdd
SSD- 60gb Vertex II (new)
HDD- 1.5 Seagate 7200 rpm 6gb/s (new)
HDD-500 WD 7200 rpm 3gb/s (about 3 years old)
This machine is for video editing, music, and some gaming.
The board I have does utilize 6gb/s sata connections. I have unplugged all drives except the 60gb SSD and installed windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. I now have the other two HDD connected and they are empty. Should I ditch the 500 gb hd and partition the 1.5 tb? I previously used a 32gb ssd for windows 7 and installed all other large programs ( office, nero, photoshop,etc...) on a 50 gb partition of the 500gb hd leaving me with 45o gb for movies, and music. That seemed to work fine till registry was corrupted. Should I continue with that set up and use the 1.5 tb in the same way I previusly used the 500gb hd? And take the old 500 gb hd out of the scenario? I am wondering how well the 1.5tb does with partitions and if I even need to partition it. As long as I can back this up so I dont lose stuff again. Thank you in advance.
