So im looking for a 120g or 128g ssd to run os and maybe one or two games i play alot on and all my applications then i need a 1tb hdd to install steam games and such on.

 

Im wonder right now performance wise what is top ssd? I was looking at all these. 

 

People say samsung is best but Crucial seems be good value

Also what should i get for hhd i just want fastest one possible to install and load games off of.

The fastest SSD on the market overall is the Samsung 840 Pro. It has one of the fastest read times, and a blazing fast write time too.

 

As far as HDD's go, the WD black is the way to go for performance. It is designed for games and overal fast read/write times. [source]

Is the 840 pro worth 40$ more than m5?

Then go for the cheaper one. Unless you need the features of the 840 Pro (namely the MLC flash for high-write endurance), just buy whatever drive is cheapest per gigabyte.

Umm ok im also considering getting the 500g evo. I want know your guys thoughts if i can drop the 300$ you think it worth it right now? 

 

Im not someone who needs back up large amounts of files this pc i use is 100% just games and downloading movies and is a media hub i dont do any type work or need large files on it. 

 

So think its worth getting thr 500g to ditch hhds all together?

There are faster ssd's and hdd's but you won't be wanting to stick a velociraptor in your system and the fastest ssd's are very expensive while not being that much better than the 840 Evo ...

Is the 840 pro worth 40$ more than m5?

Not for general use. Modern ssds are pretty similar for that.

If you need the speed and don't mind spending the cash , sure. I doubt you do though.
