Hey guys, I want to ask, what do you guys think is better, 120gb Samsung 840 EVO + copy of windows 7 HP or 250gb Samsung 840 Evo and transfer the data from my current HDD to SSD? Note: I should be able to trim down the data to below 200gb if going with 2nd option.

ASUS ROG G75VX

 

Intel i7-3630QM 2.4GHz/3.4GHz Turbo | Nvidia GeForce 670MX 3GB OCed to 736MHz | 750GB HDD | Windows 8.1 | 24 GB 1600MHz RAM | Razer Goliathus Medium | Logitech G400s | Razer Kraken/ JBL J22 | Corsair Vengeance K70 Cherry MX blue

Is it an option to keep your HHD and install an SSD? Even if you put all 200GB of data into your 250GB SSD, 50GB fills up pretty fast (depending on what you're planning to do).

My laptop has 2 HDD bays, I can keep both drives, its only temporary.

If it's only temporary then I would still go for 250GB, it's more useful in the long term.

Thinking about it, I should have created a poll...
