In a couple of months, I'm going to be buying an SSD to port my OS over to, however, I don't really want to spend loads on one that has loads of storage that won't be used, its just going to have the OS on and everything else will remain on my 1tb hard drive, do you think 120GB or 240/250GB or is this too low and will require more?

 

Thanks,

250 is good, get an 850 EVO.

Also, don't clone/migrate your OS.

Do a clean install if you want things to not break.
