    SSD Help

    So I ended up with 2 SSD's when I only planned to get one.

    I bought this first - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820239045

    but then when I went back to newegg they had a 40 dollar sale on this - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820147164

    So now I have two SSD's coming in the mail. I am wondering if I should return the first one as it's smaller or if I should keep it and use both.

    If I should keep both what should go on which SSD?

    Keep the Samsung and return the kingston. There's no reason in having 2 SSD's, if you have a 256gb version, really.

    If you don't want to keep one for whatever reason, send the Kingston Hyper X back, although there's no reason you couldn't keep both, put your OS and a bunch of games on one, and a bunch of games (or whatever else) on the other.

    keep the Samsung I just bought that drive and I am loving it. As for the other one, maybe put it in your gaming console, if you have one, or send it back and get a refund.

    I'd go with OS on the smaller one, with utility programs like Office/Photoshop if you have them on it, then games on the bigger SSD. Use your current HDD for storage.

    you could also, if your MoBo supports it, use the smallest SSD as a cache drive. This will speed up your hard drive.
