SSD Or HDD

[ZoLq]

soo... i wanted to pickup adata su650 240gb model ,but most said it's not that good and its not worth getting 240gb drive. so should i pickup wd blue 1tb? 

EDIT: i already have 1tb hdd , but it's quite old , and its only 5400rpm.

Or u could pick up a 500GB SSD which is ample for windows and most apps unless u run loads of games.

Get both. SSD for Windows and applications and the HDD for Games and any huge files that you might have

"Loads of games"

3-4 AAA games lmao.

 

OP: do you already have storage? if not, then go with a 2TB seagate barracuda. If you already have a HDD, then go with the ssd.

Ive used quite a number of these drives, infact im running 2 in one system at the moment they are made by western digital......

i dont live in europe ,prices are really different. 500gb ssd is much more expensive than 240ssd and 1tb hdd

GTA V (a AAA game) is 60GB.

 

60GB x 8 < 500GB

But also remember even if u install a game to a seperate drive it will still put some of its files in windows and windows 32 etc so a 240gb i still say would be to small.

250 gb ssd and 1-2 tb hdd will work just fine. Just a clear answer.

No it's not gonna be too small. It will just fine in pair with an hdd. Yes, if you can afford, buy bigger, but you will be perfectly fine with 240 gb. He can always get another one in the future.
