Thinking to buy a ssd

[oronor24]

Currently i use hdd but i cant work with it anymore and i want to upgrade to ssd but i cant afford much , i dont want to spend more than 100$ and i would prefer something around 50$.

Whats the cheapest and best option i have? whats the best companies etc?

also should i worry about compatibility? my processor is inter core i3 x64.

One more question

is it possible to use 2 hard drives at the same time? can i use the hdd i have now and the ssd so i wont have to reinstall everything from the start?

I want the ssd for a specific job , i dont want it for general use.

I use pricewatch.com for a rough idea of pricing for parts I want to buy. pcpartpicker is also a good tool to use.
You can install the SSD as a second drive and keep your HDD the way it is, however most people switch to the SSD on the bootable disk to greatly speed booting and general windows performance during loads. You want it for something specific so as long as you install your programs to the SSD you will get the most benefit in your case.

I have had corsair and samsung drive and I have been very happy with both. ANY SSD will blow the socks off a HDD.

1 thing you can consider is a hybrid drive which is part SSD and HDD, think of a HDD with a really large buffer. I've never had one myself but I have been told they work well. They offer greater capacity for $$, faster than a HDD but slower than a SSD.

Hope this helps.
