So my current laptop has a 1TB Firecuda SSHD in it currently and I need to upgrade it as it only has 20GB left lol. I was wondering if I should upgrade to a 2TB SSHD or 2TB SSD my laptop is used for gaming, any recommendations, Should spend double for an SSD or spend half as much for the SSHD.

Well, the SSD would be much faster. So if that is worth it to you, you should. Personally, and almost everyone, would say its worth it. But 2 TB SSD's are not cheap... so that a hard call.

As above, if you can afford the SSD then definitely go for it.  Were not talking a small improvement here, it will be a night/day improvement in load times and for me personally I feel more comfortable knowing that I can pickup my laptop and carry it around without any risk of crashing the HDD heads.
