Internal Hard Drive Strategy for Windows 7 & Photoshop CS6?
8 months ago
|
When I built my first PC 4 years ago, SSDs were not really "in play" and I used the following hard drive setup:
160GB 7200 RPM drive for OS and programs
160GB 7200 RPM drive as a cache drive (put Photoshop CS3 cache file there, I may have even mapped the Windows XP Pro page file there, can't remember)
1TB 7200 RM drive for all data (backed up to an external 1TB drive)
For the new build I am spec'ing up, I plan to use a Samsung 830 256GB SSD as the OS / software programs drive, and a 2TB 7200 RPM spinner HDD as my internal data drive. My question is if I need another SSD or spinner HDD as a "cache drive" for things like the Windows 7 page file and/or the Photoshop CS6 cache file?
Not planning to do any sort of RAID.
Here's a spec list of my build so far:
Ivy Bridge 3570K or 3770K CPU
Z77 motherboard (specific model TBD)
16G of RAM (2 x 8GB sticks - specific model TBD)
650W power supply (specific model TBD)
Blu-Ray burner optical drive (specific model TBD)
Internal USB 3.0 memory card reader for offloading memory cards (specific model TBD)
Windows 7 64-bit OS (Specific version TBD)
Thanks in advance.
