Is a 128GB NVMe drive for the OS and a 1TB SATA SSD for games a good setup?

Doing some research might pay off! Sometimes, you can find 1TB NVMe drives for a price that's not too far off from SATA. If it fits your budget, I'd suggest going with that instead of the smaller NVMe and larger SATA.

Honestly, you won't notice much difference in gaming between the types of SSDs. A SATA SSD should be fine for games and won't really impact your gaming experience.

You probably don't need the NVMe drive for your OS. Honestly, the loading times between a SATA SSD and an NVMe aren't that noticeable for most tasks. If you're tight on budget, the SATA should work just fine!

I’d advise against using a 128GB SSD for your OS. It's possible, but it fills up quickly, leading to frustrations down the line. I started with 128GB, then upgraded to 256GB, which still felt cramped. If you can afford it, a 512GB SSD will save you a lot of hassle.

In my setup, I actually use a 1TB NVMe drive with a 100GB partition for the OS and the rest for games. It works perfectly without any issues. If you can swing it, I highly recommend considering a 1TB NVMe.
