Hardrive and ssd

[Gregas]

Hi

I am going to be replacing the current hard drives in my PC with new ones, i am looking at getting a 120GB SSD and 2/3 TB hard drive setup.

 

My budget is around 200 dollars (AU).

 

At the moment i'm thinking about these:

 

SSD: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=210_902_909&products_id=24771

 

Hard drive: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=210_344&products_id=22283

 

 

Any suggestions?

 

 

My Current system:

 

1TB Hard drive 

GTX 980 (reference) 

Intel core i5 3470

8GB RAM

Asus P8Z77-VPRO

Adata SSD:

WD Green 2TB Storage Drive

You are even left with 25 bucks AUD to spare!

Hey Gregas,

 

A very common choice among builders is 120GB SSD with WD Blue 1TB as it works great and is within your budget while you can put the more demanding stuff on the SSD (here's a link to that: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=770). If you happen to look for a larger drive for secondary storage, I would backup @ and also say that WD Green is a good drive for that.

What are your plans for the HDD part of your storage?

You could continue using your old storage on the computer as separate drives for additional space or backup. I would just recommend running a check for bad sectors as well as for its S.M.A.R.T. status just to make sure your data is still safe. A good tool is WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic (here's a link: http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=810〈=en). I would recommend running both the quick and the extended tests.

 

Hope this helps

I have always trusted WD. I have a good friend that worked for WD for a long time. I have a Green drive that has lasted me through 3 PCs which is the best I have found hard drive wise.

get WD blue for the HDD 

 

for the ssd ; 120 GB intel 520 , it is only 64$ at amazon really worth it with consistent performance and a 5 year warranty will make you feel great better than any ssd

 

but the corsair ssd is a great value as well

Sorry, guys... but since he actually said that he wants a 2/3TB HDD, recommending a WD Blue all the time is a bit pointless, isn't it?

[Dimwitted]

I would go with

 

ssd: MX100 128gb for $89.

hdd: Seagate 2tb barracuda for $99.

 

It's too bad that the prices are more in Aus but what can you do? I'd recommend the MX100 256 but it's $139 which blows your budget. sigh
