[Storage Help] pure SSD or HDD and SSD

[Angel_Ohiha]

Hello guys, I wanted to ask for opinions regarding Storage planning. You see , I have already went over my budget on building my first Computer, because well I like future proofing and I come across great deals. I originally wanted to go for a 1TB HDD and 500GB or 256GB Evo SSD. But I have alot of games and plan to put them all in the SSD with the OS as well.

 

My question is would it be what's better in today's world when it comes to storage , to go full SSD?. I see more and more people going pure SSD. I also came across a deal for the 850 pro Samsung 1TB for $300 so that's why I'm second guessing.

If you've got stacks of cash to drop on large SSDs, go for it.

Otherwise, get a 250 or 500 GB SSD + a 1 or 2 TB HDD

 

It's as simple as that.

if you're not using mechanical hard disk, then just go full SSD

you sort of answered your own question really

 

the average configuration these days = 250gb SSD + 2TB HDD

Get a 250GB SSD + a 1TB HDD and that should be good enough for most uses. I personally have all my games and such installed onto my server and all my main programs are on the SSD in my build.

If you want to get go all out SSDs it would be worth it and alot faster and alot more expensive. But with SSD's still being expensive most people do a mix of a 120, 250, or 500gb ssd and a 1 or 2 tb HDD. and people install the OS on the ssd and other stuff on the HDD.
