got a 120gb drive. do I install steam to that drive then install my games to my other drive
>120GB drive

>>333021185
it's probably an ssd
>>333021018
install steam on your main drive
you can create steam folders on any drive

That's no excuse. It's 2016, get a fucking decent size drive. You might have to pay quite a bit more to get an SSD with a decent size but 120GB is ridiculously small.
>>333021485
well I got 1 tb drive for steam games and another 1tb drive for emulation
>>333021485
Buying for need isn't necessarily a bad thing.

How do you "need" a tiny fucking drive in 2016? Fuck, I'll bet Windows by itself takes up a huge fraction of that drive.
>>333021485
SSD's are rarely used for actual storage. Just install Windows on it and bam, everything you do is twice as fast.

>>333021018
yes. i have a 128gb drive from 2011 and this is what i've always done.
>>333022034
how do u install agmes to other drive
>>333021018
Install Steam and any other applications you tend to use a lot on your SSD. Also, if you have space, put games that have a lot of loading screens on your SSD as well (e.g. MMOs, RPGs, etc). The difference in loading times is very noticeable and well worth it.

>3 platters for 10mb
>>333022065

Shit anon what the fuck are you doing
Apply yourself this isn't facebook
>>333022281

This is bait, you can't be this retarded
>>333021018
unless you have a really old ssd, install games wherever you want. the days of walking on eggshells around ssds are over. ssd firmware, controllers, and nand has come to a long way to minimize wear levelling. you would have to write an utterly enormous amount of data per day for YEARS to even come close to doing anything.
at the rate the technology is improving and getting better prices you will replace your drive long before you wear it out.

>install Windows on it
waste of a good drive
Yes install games to a normal hdd. Very few games benefit from ssd.
>>333023058
pls be trolling
loading times is benefit enough
you have to use the SSD with the drivers or else you're just using a flash disk; install steam to the C:\ drive and then install your games to your 120 if you don't care. If you do care, install steam to the 120gb drive and your games one by one.

>>333022547
you dont really need 500gb right now.
a sub 350gb or 240gb drive is more than enough to install windows and your 'important' games like online stuff where you wanna load levels really fast. also remember you don't need something expensive like a 950 pro for video games either. shop around and watch shopping sites for sales.
>install games on SSD
