Depends which section you buy it in.
Buy it under Main Drive and it's the OS. Buy it under Data Drive and it's your secondary data/games drive. Buy it under SRT and it is used as a cache drive for your OS (or Secondary drive if your main drive is an SSD and secondary is HDD). At present I'd say the optimal configuration would be a 240GB OCZ SSD for the OS, Apps and Games, and a pair of 2TB HDDs (currently Seagate Barracuda) in RAID1 with a 60GB Corsair Force 3 SRT Cache Drive for mass storage. |

Ok thank you for that. For my budget id prob only be able to afford the one for the operating system. How easy is it to add them at a later date are they a simple install?

If you are just going for one drive then get an SSD and use an HDD from your old system as a data drive.
Adding an HDD or SSD later is easy, most cases now come with 2.5" drive bays or adapters and you'll usually get a couple of spare SATA cables in your accessories box. If not call support and we can send one out. |
