Will having two SSDs make dual booting easier?

[cbrugna]

Hello,

I recently attempted to dual boot Windows 10 (developer preview) and Yosemite on a Hackintosh only running Yosemite. It did not work and I was wondering if having two different, seperate SSDs would make things easier (one running Windows, the other Yosemite). If this is easy, or even possible can someone point me to a link that shows me how to do it?

Here is my current SSD, running Yosemite perfectly(240gb):

Here is the SSD I want to run Windows on(128gb):
http://www.amazon.com/OCZ-Technology-2-5-Inch-Industrys-Warranty/dp/B007RARHSO/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1423008241&sr=1-2&keywords=vertex+ssd&pebp=1423008243393&peasin=B007RARHSO

Will they work?

Thanks!

I personally prefer that route when possible. You reduce the risk of messing up one of your installations.

My post might help you get up and running since we have similar hardware: http://www.tonymacx86.com/multi-boo...-osx-10-10-yosemite-windows-7-pro-64-bit.html

I just did that.


When you install on the new SSD, make sure all other drives are disconnected.

Thanks! It's good to hear from someone who did it. Im sort of new, so did you have any problems while doing it, or was it hard?

Using 2 SSD does make the job a lot easier.
Ive used a duo boot system for a while already.
Today I upgraded my windows partition to win 8.
Don't know whether the Mac partition gonna handle it well.
Plater gonna plug back my hackintosh drives.
Post any questions here, here got a lot of people willing to help.
Good luck!
