Just a similar question. If i did run games off a HDD, would it effectively use the ssd less? All i want to know is if the read/ writes of the game is not going towards the ssd.

That would indeed save wear and tear on your SSD.

For general SSD use, reading from them causes virtually no wear and tear. Writing causes some wear and tear, but at a very slow rate as long as the drive is not very full. Keeping at least 10 percent free is good, more if you can spare it.

Ah ok. So my ssd doesnt have storage for games but even though little wear and tear is seen with games on ssds, ill mainly stick to HDDs for peace of mind. Thanks for your help, really appreciate it
