Hello all,

I have the 160GB SSD drive as my primary and the 1TB storage drive.  I have windows and all my apps/games on the 160GB SSD but I'm starting to run out of room.  With a couple games on steam, WoW, Rift I am looking at 50GB left and with new games like Diablo 3, Skyrim, and a couple others I think I might now have enough room.  Would you recommend me start loading games on the 2nd harddrive or should I consider raiding the SSD, or consider getting a bigger SSD drive?

Any opinions are appreciated.

Just add another ssd as hdd3 and install games on there.

If you raid, then you have to reinstall os and everything, no need for that.

SSD does lot more then just load games faster.

I have a very similar setup, I guess my first question would be; of all the games you have installed on the SSD, how many do you regularly play? I have 160GB of SSD space myself (80x2) and I keep all my less frequently played and older games on the 1TB WD Black. With most of, if not all of the older games, there is no percievable difference in loading times, and those that I don't play frequently enough, well, I haven't tested them Oops.
