hi
i have 500 gb WD green HDD

i'm short on storage and also my pc runs really slow
mb is Asus B450m-a , i have free SATA and M.2 slots

i'm looking forward to buy a 128gb ssd for windows + 2 tb hdd for other things like games

i've searched on the internet and online shops in my country and they mostly sell WD hard drives
buy i don't know which one to choose, i think Blue HDD WD is good choice but there are different blue HDDs! like WD20EZAZ and WD20EZRZ!
i don't know which one to choose , or if there is any better choice of WD HDDs ? or even another brand like Toushiba? or Even another option like for example not buying HDD and buying 1tb ssd at all?!

help please
thanks

Don't get a 128GB SSD for your OS drive.
250GB or larger.

But yes, a single 1or 2TB SSD would be far better.
thank you so much

first of all, you've always helped me in different sections of this forum and i really appreciate your kindness, thanks man

second, can u please tell me how is it far better even that it costs like 150% of a HDD ?

Your whole system will be MUCH snappier.
Things will open nearly instantly.

And quieter and cooler.
 
Hey there,

b. 2TB , 256MB , 7200 RPM - This one is best. Biggest buffer, along with faster spiining drive, which will be usefull for loading times on all apps. That said SSD's are so cheap now. Getting a 2 tb ssd will cut loading times in games for example, in just a few seconds rather than maybe a minute or so with a HDD.
