Buying new hard drive, need advice

[tyskeren]

So as the title suggest, I am looking for a new hard drive solution, my own hard drive is terribly slow with everything, some games take up to 5+ minutes of loading. To it's defence though, it is running on 13 years, so probably about time I got a new one.
Should be mentioned that I have changed all other parts in my computer.

So I need some advice here, should I go for SSD and HDD or just a HDD or just an SSD

And I would really appreciate some advice on spefic models to buy aswell.

Thanks in advance

13 years... No wonder.

Get a SSD. They're inexpensive at the capacities available that long ago, and orders of magnitude faster.

I would recommend getting an SSD and HDD. Put all your main files on the HDD and your OS as well as your most important games on the SSD. For the HDD I would recommend the Western Digital Caviar Blue and for the SSD I would recommend any of the samsung evo models.

most people have an SSD for windows and a hard drive for games or if you have the cash for a big SSD then a bigger SSD but not knowing a lot about SSD's the samsung ones seam the best option too me get a 256gb for windows and hard drive for everything else my advice.

If your HDD is 13 years old, how old is the rest of your rig?

^ that's what im wondering ??

A 13 year hard drive would 100% likely be ide not sata !

Sata 1 released in 2003.

13 years 😀

But as mentioned I've changed almost everything, though not my CPU, I refuse to change it, 13 years running and still doing a decent job, no need to waste money 😉
