SSHD and a small ssd

[mynameislemos]

Hey guys, so I I'm building a pc and I'm over budget. I was thinking where I could reduce the price. My original plan wa to go with a V300 120gb ssd and a WD 500gb hd. Now I was thinking in getting a V300 30gb ssd (for the system itself) and a 500gb seagate sshd ( http://www.seagate.com/internal-hard-drives/laptop-hard-drives/laptop-solid-state-hybrid-drive/?sku=ST500LM000 ) It's for laptops, so will it work? What do you think?

If you are on a budget, wouldn´t be better to just go with only a 3,5 drive ? You can always add and SSD later, when you have more money, rather then buying a small one

30Gb will not be enough for much of anything. Unless you plan on only installing the os (which will only increase boot times) you will see that fill up immediately. The best use for an ssd would be for a cache or a full system install (including programs)

Just get that SSD and you can buy some 2 TB hdd later on. That is what I would do.

Do this if you don't have a large amount of files and can tolerate the 250Gb space.
