ssd boot help and storage

[PcNerd1337]

I want a small ssd for boot like 40gbs or w/e which is the best one...

but i also want ssds raid? for data cause in bf4 it takes me like 10mins to load a map or so. and i'm being generous when im saying 10mins.

i think right now i have a 7200rpm 500gb and a 5400rpm 250gb.

1. A 40GB SSD will not work. Too small. 120GB or larger.
2. You do not want RAID with an SSD.


Now...what are you actually wanting to do?
What is the rest of the system?

First things first I just want a ssd for fast bootup and fast windows stuff

And I want something faster than my hdd right now. But I'm not looking to spend $999 on a 1tb ssd.

I don't think any SSD less than 60GB is made any more but even that may prove too small. Windows itself needs 10 - 20 GB free to work properly.
A hybrid drive has higher performance than plain HDD coupled with larger size.

250GB Samsung SSD - $87
This will be the OS and all/most of your applications. Other stuff can live on other drives.

(oh, and a $1TB can be had for under $250. Not $1,000)

It does matter, to boot from a disk you need OS on it and for instance W10 needs all together more than 40 GB just to run properly, never mind updates, backup, system reserved and/or UEFI partition etc.
Out of a nominally 40GB disk you are down to 36 GB by the time it's just formatted.
