I have a few questions for storage for my current build since i will be going to microcenter Tuesday. I wanted to get an ssd but i only have sata 2, i know sata is backwards compatible but i wanted to know i would notice a difference in performance. Also i originally wanted wd black but now have a more limited budget so would wd blue be good, like would i actually notice a difference between blue and black. Also the ssd is 450mbps, as far as the differences i am looking more towards real world not benchmarks. Thanks for the help!

I run my own indie game company called Color Dragon Studios where we are currently making a 2d platformer game called Small Earth.

if i was you then, I would buy a crucial m500/mx100 240GB (take the cheaper one, mx100 is 10%faster than m500) and use the current hdd for other games and files, should be enough storage
