Budget upgrade help

[Tamgam12]

I'm in the us. I have a Asus G751JL with 8g ddr3l ram at 1600. I have a Samsung 250g internal ssd at 65% capacity already with one game loaded. I think I would like to start by upgrading the ssd for more storage. I only paid $350 for the laptop. I only want to load 1 more game really. (Last oasis) I happy with how it runs now. Can I use a hybrid drive? Do I have to stay with a ssd? I'm vary new to pc gaming and upgrading a pc. Any advice would be great. Thank you.

You should have plenty of space already to install a few more games. Is it warning that you're running out of space?

Looks as though that laptop can hold two 2.5" drives, a cheap laptop hard drive would be a good choice. How much money would you be willing to spend on a storage device?

No. I just noticed I was already over 65% and the game I want to add is pretty big. 30g I believe.

No. I just noticed I was already over 65% and the game I want to add is pretty big. 30g I believe. I would like to stay under $100. I don't need a ton of space. It's just basically a replacement for my ps4.

If you want to get a lot of space, with speed at an affordable price, I would suggest the SeaGate FireCuda SSHDD (Hybrid). 1TB (considering you only want to add one more game). But, I'd say get a 2TB to be on the safe side. Here is a link to the product with pricing options: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zk7CmG/seagate-firecuda-2tb-25-5400rpm-internal-hard-drive-st2000lx001

If you don’t need tons of storage an ssd is the way to go.
