i have a asus g46vw and i recently ordered a 120 gig msata ssd but have not yet instaled it.i am planing on using it as a boot drive.the hdd in the laptop is a 5200 rpm 750gb hdd that is fairly loud and god is it slow.i dont have the money for another ssd so my question is what is a good hdd or sshd for this system.

 

im a pretty avid gamer if that helps in any way.

 

 

I love gaming,pc building,talking tech.

Hey maxtuckerpc,
 
I could suggest checking out WD Black2 which is a dual drive that combines 120GB SSD with a 1TB HDD in one enclosure which would fit in your laptop. The difference between this dual drive and the SSHD hybrid drives is that here you have the freedom to choose what to put on the SSD and what to remain on the HDD. Also, the SSD part is significantly larger and you basically have two separate drives with super fast communication between them. Here's a link: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=1190.
 
Feel free to ask if you have any questions :)
