New HDD and SSD; NewEgg Sale

[jacob justus]

Newegg has a sale going on and the BarraCuda and the SSD are the ones i found most affordable at $97 for the both of them. I wanted to know if this a good deal and if someone could link me a good guide on how to transfer the OS to the SSD

The HDD is decent , not a fan of ADATA SSD'S.

is there a reason for not liking the SSD? im on a tight budget and i currently only have one HDD at 1TB and i have 200 GB left

Not a fan of Seagate or most ssd devices.
Samsung and Intel make their own nand chips and controllers, they can do a better job of validation and quality control.


One can not simply transfer windows to a ssd without also moving any apps that use the registry. (and that will be most of them)

If the new ssd will be large enough to hold the contents of the C drive, the simplest approach is to buy a Samsung ssd of sufficient capacity.
Samsung has a free ssd migration utility that will do the job.
Download and read the manual for the app.
It allows you to exclude large data folders from the move.

The SSD is too small in todays world.
Yes, it is inexpensive. Because it is TooSmall.

You really want a 250GB or larger.
