Hi everyone!
I hope everyone is doing well. It's been a while since I built a computer and due to the one I am currently using is on it's way out, It's time to build a new one! The last time i was pricing a new computer, the ideal combination was a small SSD for the OS and a large capacity HDD.
Now that some time has passed and the prices for SSDs have gone down, I was wondering if I should go with one smaller SSD and HDD? Or are the higher capacity SSDs reliable enough to be used as a solo drive?
Also one last thing I want to ask about are the hybrid drives. They seem like a Jack of all trades drive where it has SSD capabilities and HDD well enough but not as good as the single drives themselves. Does anyone have any thoughts or feedback about them?
Drives I am considering:
SanDisk Extreme Pro 480 GB as a single SSD
alternative:
SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series 128 GB SSD
WD BLACK SERIES 1TB HDD
Thank you all for reading and responding if you do! If more information is needed, please let me know.
