Why exactly shouldn't I worry about it given the climate I'm running it in and the possibility of power going out?
As for installing Windows on it and lots of games, I got the SSD specifically for my giant ass pile of folders and stuff. If I put the OS on it, I'd have to redo a lot of things and I've tested the speed, and it's like, a second faster than the HDD apparently. Files I want to save take over half of the capacity to and I think it would be better to just upgrade to only SSD down the line to run everything from including the OS, but I'd need a shitton of money since 2TB SSD's are 1000 dollars...and provided they are superior to HDD in every way including data retention.
EDIT: I might just have to have one copy of it on HDD and another on SSD and just update them both at the same time when I need to store something. It's like technology has gotten to the point where there's much more work on my end than the hardware since Skype has also decided to stop recording all the file details, so I have to write it out whenever I get or send a file.
