    hey guys i have got some questions :

    is it possible to run a SSD and a HDD on the same PC with OS installed into SSD ?
    will there be any BIOS error or any other conflict ?
    and if this is possible then how can i do this ?

    I don't quite understand.
    Why would you want to run the OS of an SSD? It'll be a lot slower that way...

    I'm assuming you're using 7 because 8 kinda blows.

    SSDs read faster, write slower. And they die after a relatively short period of heavy use.

    depends how heavily they're used. they use flash memory like microsd cards and USB sticks, which is limited lifespan memory.

    its not about how often its used, its how much is written to them
