I've tested WD Blue SSDs, they're not terrible. My other setup uses a Sandisk Ultra II, which isn't especially impressive. For a definitive answer, run benchmarks with HDDTune and CrystalDiskMark to gather data. SSD speed can also depend on BIOS configurations or the connection header you're using. Share those findings here.
What Samsung SSD model are you using? Typically, when you have two storage devices, place your operating system and applications on the SSD (such as Steam or EA), while keeping games on the secondary drive. This ensures program files access the faster drive, preventing heavy game data from slowing down the system.
I’ve just stayed up late working on old motherboards. Please forgive me.
