compl3x Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I completed my new gaming build. I blew most of my budget on a GPU so I had to cheap out on the HDD. I've been using an SSD in my laptop for > 6 months and I have gotten used to the fast boot ups and the general zippy-ness of it. HDDs, while economical, are so very slow by comparison.

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted September 26, 2014 Moderator Share Posted September 26, 2014 Once you get an SSD, you'll never go back to a HDD for your OS. Xahid 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I am no longer poor, and perhaps when the price of the 1TB Samsung evos come down, I will upgrade. Ian W 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+E.Worm Jimmy Subscriber¹ Posted September 26, 2014 Subscriber¹ Share Posted September 26, 2014 a cheap 60gb ssd for the OS and then 1tb hdd for everything else i cannot stand to use other peoples old computer.... over the years i picked up 2 ssds and one hybrid... and i barely need to touch my storage HDD btw, 1TB Hybrid drives are a good trade off. price wise they are cheaper then SSD and they are definately faster in normal day to day usage (movies, games, photoshop - etc etc) then regular HDD Charisma and Xahid 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need a big whopper SSD. Save all your games and files on a HDD. My dad is running Linux Mint 17 on his system. He's only running off one of my old OCZ Vertex 30GB SSD's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted September 26, 2014 Moderator Share Posted September 26, 2014 I never need 75% of my full 120GB SSD, so anything bigger would be a big waste of money. For me. Charisma and The Evil Overlord 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I know #FirstWorldProblems :rolleyes: I'm using a ReadyCache drive with my HDs and I don't mind at all. I still intend to get an SSD back in here, but I have had no complaints.

Shiranui Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Even 256GB SSDs are under $150 these days. No need to wait for 1TB to go down in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
