How much GB of SSD is needed when you have an HDD as well?

[Nokah]

I'm thinking about getting an SSD as well as an HDD for my new build. I might just drop getting the SSD completely but if I were to get both, how big does the SSD need to be?

Hey there, Nokah.

Well basically, if it's going to be just for your OS and programs/apps, I'd say a 120GB should be OK. This should be sufficient depending on the software you plan on installing on it. An SSD will greatly boost the performance of your system, so it's a good idea to get one if it fits your budget.

Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Minimum 120GB, but a 250GB is a better price vs size ratio.

We have 3 desktops at home. All of them have a 120GB SSD + 1 TB HDD and their usage varies from simple workstation to full gaming setup. The SSD's are more than adequate but 240GB would give us more wiggle room.

120GB can do but for comfort reasons, I would recommend only 240GB as minimum.
Trust me, I would not take SSDs below 240GB.
Yes, even without games or data (pics, films, etc.) on it.
