Laptoop disk recommendation

[ringo]

On my friend laptop hard disk broke, I need to find a good replacement. Laptop is HP PAVILION DV7-6186EG (Intel® Core™ i7 Mobile Processor i7-2630QM (2 GHz mit Intel® Turbo-Boost bis zu 2,9 GHz, 6 MB Intel® Smart-Cache, AMD Radeon HD 6770M).

 

I am thinking between:

 

WD blue WD10SPZX 1TB

 

WD blue WD10JPVX 1TB

 

Seagate barracuda ST1000LM048 1TB

 

or maybe SSD

 

WD green WDS120G2G0A

 

Would SSD had much better perfomance that these HDD? I am worried because SSD is only 120GB and on disk I will put Win7 (20gb space?) + League of legends (15gb space)+ other programs necessary for normal windwos use...

I would go for an SSD. It will be much faster than a mechanical drive can ever dream about being, and you can always use USB storage.

Get a 240/250GB SSD instead of any of these. Honestly anything will do, even a Sandisk Plus or Kingston A400.

A 120GB is just about usable for 1 game or so. Much faster. 250 is the best option, and can fit a couple of games.

On average the boot time of a device goes from over 1 minute to like 10-15 seconds.

The difference between a HDD and a SSD feels enormous. 

Once you go SSD you'll never go back

A lot. My laptop went from 2+ minutes with a clean installation of Windows 10 to about 10-15 seconds and I'm on the desktop. Everything else is fast too.

Ok, there will be no big slowdowns with SSD because relatively old processor?

No. I've built SSD's into Core 2 Quad systems And all people I've done that for are still very happy with the SSD

No, it's not "old". I use an SSD with a Core 2 Duo.
