Hi everyone,
I have the (2017) Dell Inspiron 17 7567 model, (i5 7300HQ, GTX 1050, 8Gb RAM, 256Gb SSD) and it has a free bay for a 2.5 inch drive.
I want to expand my storage, so that I keep the OS(obviously) and most important programs on the SSD and all the games, less important programs and media stuff on a 1Tb drive.
The question is: Should I get an SSHD (5400rpm, +-8Gb SSD part) or HDD(7200rpm) assuming that they both have the same cash size(or that they both have 32mb + cash, which I think is more than enough...).
To specify, here's a real life example of how I would use it:
I'd install not very important (but still heavy probably) programs and games on the HDD or SSHD. Will their files, not the game itself, just core files(like savegames) go to the "C drive" (A.K.A. SSD) into the %appdata% folder, and thus load with SSD speeds when I start the game, or will ALL their files remain on the HDD/SSHD and work at SATA speeds?
Final question: Which, in your opinion, should I get?

UPDATE(31/05/2017)
I decided to go with the WD Black 1Tb. I've been using it for a week now and I'm satisfied. With 150Gb free space on the SSD and about 700Gb left on the HDD it's going well. It's extraordinary to be able to "spin down" the HDD from Windows power plan settings. So now, after about 5 minutes of it not being used, my HDD spins down going into this sort of "sleep" consuming less power and obviously making NO NOISE at all. It's perfect. Thank you everyone for answering.
