So it's been a while since been into any of this, so correct me if I'm wrong. A good, cheap way of getting an effective SSD setup would be to use it together with my mechanical drive, right? Say have OS files, programs and games on the SSD, while media and stuff where speed isn't much of a concern can stay on the disc?

Is there any real world difference if I were to get a 1TB SSD and have everything on that? Or would it be fine to save money and get, say, a 256GB one and be selective with what I need on it? Or is that still not recommended due to them slowing down over the years the more writes you have on it?
