you might wanna remove that 1st line, some people may react harshly to it. You may have your reasons for it and they can be valid, though that's usually not the case.

woah there watch your language. Writing like that you look like an ass. P.S. it's a 7200rpm one

And by the way why I'm kinda retarded with that setup? You know the only advantages of a ssd vs hdd is the load time. It doesn't improve my framerates are the same, the frame consistency also the same. No difference in gameplay performance.

thing is, what I think makes sense is, an HDD with the drives optimized for the OS and then Games and so on, and have a 128 SSD for games. I really think you're not exploiting your hardware half as much as you could. I got an 750GB HDD (7200) and wouldn't mind if it was larger (not an option), however, I'm keeping my eye out to get a 128 or 256 400-500 MB/s SSD.

Well, ofcourse if your SSD is on the range of 200MB/s it doesn't make much difference and my comments aren't valid, but if it's a worthy SSD then I think you should consider my words. From the CPU GPU & RAM you got, I guess you're just kinda retarded, since a person with that equipment would probably tune up the rest as well. Also, why not 10,000 rpm if it's a desktop? Well, not that I care, just wasting time pointing this out for you, take it or leave it.

well these storage devices I got are from the last build and I didn't want to buy new ones yet. As it doesn't inpact much as the other equipement do.

And why saying retarded again. Does it make your statement more valid that way? Or are you just a frustated ass?

You got a point there. How fast is your SSD?

300 mb/s

the outer area of an HDD is faster than the inner one (simple math/phys) (you can find software to benchmark this). So if you create partitions you can "optimize" the speed of the HDD. For example, I got 100GB C:/, which goes up to 180, 200GB D:/ which might go to 120 if I recall, then Data drive and an "archive" drive, which is the slowest with 70 if I recall. I'd personally setup the HDD in such a way, and then have the 128 300MB SSD for selected games. For example, I'd definitely put Skyrim and Fallout games on the SSD. Your HDD I guess may make it to 200-220 MB/s, so 300 is, I'd say, much better. Ofcourse, It'll take some time to do this change though.

Thanks for the input, I'll take that into consideration for when I'll purchase the new ones.

@Vlvgmr, Sorry, but you are the retard here. There are 5400 RPM HDDs out there that run faster than 10000 RPM ones. It's all about the cache and controller that "accepts" it, go study informatics before you open your mouth on web.

give me examples where that is the case in practice, 'cause I've never seen this happen in practice
I've actually searched a bit for it at a point, since I've seen laptops with i7s and a 1Tb 5400, but my search yielded no conclusive results

You can forget 99% of all laptops, since you wont find a nice hdd in there.
You are just saying that rpm decides everything in a HDD. What about NCQ? Queue support? When the HDD has a decent controller, liniar processes will be quicker on a high cache HDD (vidya games). If you are planning to have lots of small accesses, go on with rpm since rotation latency will be lower on it.

"You are just saying that rpm decides everything in a HDD." where did I?
In practice, I've never seen a lower rpm HDD be faster than a higher one.
As long as the HDDs being compared aren't more than 2 years away from each other in terms of date of introduction, and are of similar storage size, you are welcome to give me an example of the opposite.

lol I don't see how that goes against anything I've said. 1TB 10000 wins over a 4TB 7200, and the 1-4 makes this an unfair comparison to start with. what's the point?

I think he's talking about short stroking the hdd, but still it won't reach the speed of a good ssd
