SSD or HHD for laptop

[Nipplemilk909]

Hi, 

I'm currently hitting the maximum amount of storage for my laptop, need some advise on getting an ssh or HHD 

My laptop

Asus u47a i5 with 12g ram 

Current storage it has is an HHD 250 GB 

I'm thinking of getting a 1T storage device, 

I use this devise for a lot of things an IT student would use  and I mainly play league of legends,

Would getting myself and ssd significantly help compared to a 1T HHD ? Or is the difference not worth it?

Sad gives you less storage but faster speeds for your money and a hard drive gives you more storage but way slower. My computer boots up in 10ish seconds with my SSD

The difference between an HDD and an SSD is highly worth it. One of the best upgrades I ever did to my PC was changing to an SSD. Also if you're moving around a lot with your computer which most people with laptops do, having an SSD would be much more practical because there are no moving parts inside which can get disrupted by movements such as in an HDD.

capaciis it a universal fit? Not sure if laptops require their own type of size

Get a 500GB MX300, a solid compromise between price, performance and capacity

Harddrives are obsolete except as maybe a storage drive.  SSD is the way to go.

The MX300 is a 2.5" formfactor which is the standard size used in most laptops.
