SSDs and HDDs

[Mark Haney]

My setup is somewhat similar, and this is usually the preferred method for
using SSDs (SSD system/boot drive, HDD for data).  I have a pair of 250GB
SSDs, one solely for Windows (for video gaming only) and one for Fedora
23.  GRUB sits on the MBR of the Windows SSD and I boot to which ever OS I
want.

I also have a pair of 2TB HDDs, one is the D: drive for Windows data, the
other is mounted under /media/data in Fedora. This gives you the best
system performance with the SSDs and still tons of storage for data files.
And, if need be I can mount the NTFS drives, and vice-versa to get to data
I might need.
