Laptop SSD replacement

[Tow]

Hello

The HDD in my laptop has finally died so I went to check for new one when i stumbled upon this. A HDD of the same capacity that the one it had (512GB) costs the same as a SSD of 120 GB and since nowadays my laptop is not going to be more than a Word/Chrome machine I was wondering if the SSD will be enough considering the installation of windows.

Thank you

Yes 120gb is enough

Thank you

it is plenty. even 64GB would be somehow enough, you just wont have that much room left for activities

Besides if you find yourself needing storage you could get an external hdd for about the same price/GB as an internal drive later on

Windows, after all is said and done, usually sits at around 25GB-30GB of use, so 120GB is plenty. You may have to keep top of cleaning up the system after an OS update though.

A 64 GB drive may suffice. Might be wise to have a large, fast flash drive on hand though.
