My question is about Digital Storms configuration of an SSD on a new system with a main SSD drive for OS and primary opps as drive C: and a secondary traditional hard drive for everything else.

Will the new system I purchase from you guys be configured with os/main apps on the SSD and my user profile and all other software/games on the 2nd traditional drive?  Or will I manually need to do a mount of game and profile partition in the file system so if I install to a C drive (for example C:\program files\games) the software will actually be stored on my hard disk U: rather than SSD C:  This way I can avoid the high write times that SSD still have compared to a fast hard drive.

I don't know what SSD you are going to get, but the Intel SSD's will write most files over 10x faster than any platter drive. If you have the room, most definatley put your games on the SSD

Had the 128 GB Corsair model CMFSSD-128D1 in mind.  How comparable write speed wise is that drive to Intel's 160 GB model SSDSA2MH160G2R5 for example?

I don't know much about that drive, a few reviews show its random writes about 500% slower than the Intel
