Look for a larger one instead.
240/250GB.

Yes, 120GB seems like it would work. But think of what you'll need in 2 years, not just today.

Every day, we see people in here with a 120GB SSD, moaning about "TooSmall!"

and in terms of speed it should be a visible improvement on my system ?

and in terms of speed it should be a visible improvement on my system ?

Yes. It shows typical SATA SSD performance. A vast improvement over a typical HDD.

Now...to see that, you need to install the OS on the SSD. Just having it as a secondary drive doesn't do a whole lot.

yes my idea is to install the OS on the SSD and some typical softwares and let the HDD for games and movies and stuff that take more space .

In your preferred market, what is the price difference between that and a Crucial MX300 275GB?
Or the Samsung 850 EVO 250GB?

10 euro more, or less?
Here, the WD Green 240GB is more expensive. $95 vs $90.
For that, it is a no brainer....the MX300 275GB or the 850 EVO 250GB wins.

Both are 10 euros more than the WD

 

[USAFRet]

Both are 10 euros more than the WD

If 10 euro is make or break on your budget, do the WD Green.
Otherwise, one of the other two.

In any case...that are all 'SSD fast'.

10 euro is nothing if I see an improvement over the WD

10 euro is nothing if I see an improvement over the WD

The difference is mostly in reputation, reliability, history.
