I am in the middle of finishing a project that was started between friends. The case I am using is a HAF X with two Hot swap bays...
I have a Crucial 256GB SSD drive I would like to keep my OS and possibly a main game or two I play on.
My question is that one of the "Hot swap" bays is setup to handle a SSD drive but is it wise or does it not matter that I use a hot swap SSD to place my OS on?
My backup drive is a velociraptor 300GP drive but I really want the OS on the SSD.
Do I need to change any bios settings before I install my OS after my build also?
Any advice I can get from you guys would be a great help.
Thanks so much in advance.
Below are the items I have as well as ordered for this build. Mind you I am a newb at this.
Have HAF X case
Have 1250W sparkle PC
Ordered Asus P8Z77-V DELUXE motherboard
Ordered Unlocked I7 3770K Ivy bridge cpu
Ordered EVGA GeForce GTX 580 Classified 3072MB GPU
Ordered H100 Liq cooled fan
Ordered 32GB of Corsair CMZ32GX3M4X1600C10 memory
Ordered Crucial M4 SSD 256GB drive
Ordered WD WD3000GLFS 300GB 10000 RPM VelociRaptor Hard Drive ( for storage and games)
Ordered LG Super Multi Blu-Ray Reader/Writer
Ordered (2) additional Blue LED 200MM fans to replace the single upper fan above where I want to mount h100.
Ordered Full retail version of Windows 7 64bit Ultimate ( making sure it see's all that 32 GB memory.)
