Hello Every body.

 

a few months ago i bought an new pc - where my current specs is: 

 

Corsair CX 750M, 750W PSU

MSI Z77A-G43, Socket-1155

Samsung SSD 840 Series 120GB 2.5" OEM

 

 

 

Where the 120gb SSD from Samsung is my only storage drive, and with all my games now installed on it (where i still have some to install, but missing storage place)

 

now - with my current mobo i can have two SSD's installed and i am looking at upgrade with 1 more SSD from Samsung. but as i am also gonna edit and make videos for games for youtube uplaods.

so i've added in a ekstra normal Harddrive for mass storage. 

 

my new upgrade list from my online retailer is: 

 

Samsung SSD 840 Series 250GB 2.5" OEM

2x 

Akasa SATA3 Kabel 50 cm Right Angle

 

and a 

Seagate Barracuda® 2TB

 

 

now since i've only used SSD's is there anything speciel i need to know about the standard hdd's or are they pretty much the same speed all of them ?

Well Seagate is known to be cheap but HORRID drivers. HDD are much cheaper and if you install your games on a 7200 RPM drive, you hardly notice a difference. 

Westerd Digital is renowened for being a great HDD company over the past few years. If i were you, i recommend installing the OS on the SSD and keep everything on a 2TB 7200RPM WD Black Drive. Lots of us on the forums do this.
