SSD Corsair Neutron GTX 240GB - to partition or not ?

Thread Starter 
Just bought a 240GB SSD, already own a 60GB SSD with Windows 8 installed.

I was contemplating partitioning the 240GB SSD to 40/200 GB

40 GB for win7 and 200Gb for my games.

You think i will lose performance if i did this? or you think it might be a good idea?

is there a reason why you need windows 8? what i would recommend doing is getting rid of windows 8 off of the 60gb ssd and and installing windows 7 instead. then you can just put all your games on the new ssd
