Building My PC - Getting an SSD


So I know that this has nothing to do with art, but I recently built my own PC, but I didn't get an SSD since they were kind of expensive. The other day I found a good deal on Newegg for a 250 Gb Crucial MX200 SSD.



It arrived earlier today and I have been working on my PC for the last couple hours while I figured out how to install the drive on my case. I was freaking out since I thought I forgot to buy the part to mount it on my case, but then I remember that I could just screw the drive to one of the bays it already comes with (pictured above). It is now 3 in the morning and I am happy to say that the OS and all the main drivers are installed.

While I am really tired, I really would like to point out how games run off the new drive. I got Arkham Knight at launch for my PC, and it had a ton of problem running off my regular mechanical hard drive. But with the new SSD, most of the stuttering and other issues are now gone and plays really well on my machine.

I still have a bunch of software to reinstall, but for now I need to get some sleep. That's all for now, thanks for reading!
