Hi All,

This may have been discussed already, and I apologize if it was. I tried searching and maybe just didn't search right.

I'm curious if getting something like a 40gig/60gig SSD in my HTPC is worth it.

Currently right now I'm running a Windows 7 home premium machine, with a 1TB WD Black drive. What I'm wondering is if I'll notice better performance having the SSD as the main boot drive, and keeping the WD as my storage drive.

Is that how most people do it, or do they use a NAS or other device. Any problems having two drives like that in the same system?

Thanks for any help, and sorry for possibly a very noobish questions.

No problem having two drives in the same system. The general consensus is that the "best" solution is to use an SSD as your main htpc boot drive, and a NAS for storage. In your situation, you probably would notice a great speedup in startup time and maybe responsiveness for things like fanart and thumbs. It's really up to you weather you think that's worth it.
