Question To buy an SSHD, SSD or both ?

[NitroZeus]

Hi guys. I need some suggestions regarding storage drives. Since I need alot of storage for games I was thinking of getting an SSD since my HDD isnt doing well, not even Windows runs smoothly. My friend told me about the hybrid SSHD wich for storage/price ratio seems pretty good. I was thinking of getting a smaller SSD like 120gb for windows and main stuff and a larger lets say 2TB SSHD for games and movies and what not. Here are the prices as well wich I found. Prices may vary since im not in the US. Cheers !

SPatriot SSD Burst R560/W540, 120GB, 7mm, 2.5" - 25$
Seagate SSHD FireCuda Guardian 2TB, 64MB+128GB, 7200rpm - 125$

main use of an sshd is to supplement the slowness of mass storage hdd with the speed of an ssd for files that are always used. This is great as a boot drive but not overly useful for storage as you have no control over which files it speeds up.

Better off with a 250gb ssd + 2tb hdd as then you can control which apps get speed boost and which don't and I expect hdd are still cheaper than sshd

120gb ssd is starting to be on the too small side.

Agree with the above.250GB or larger SSD for the OS and applications.
2TB HDD for all that other stuff, including games.

A 120GB SSD is right on the edge of TooSmall.
And that one is $25 for a reason. Too small and too cheesy.
