The 120 gig SSD will be a waste if you need room for games.

Karan Mohan · Jul 18, 2013

why pick an internal hard drive over SSD? I dont need 1TB of space and would prefer SSD

Dark Lord of Tech · Jul 18, 2013

I figured if you game , a 120 gig SSD will hold your OS and only a handful of games.

Karan Mohan · Jul 18, 2013

I have another hard drive I was gonna put my OS on and put my games on the SSD

Dark Lord of Tech · Jul 18, 2013

Games don't benefit from an SSD.

Karan Mohan · Jul 18, 2013

can you explain the benefits of an SSD?

Dark Lord of Tech · Jul 18, 2013

It's great for the overall performance of your OS , but doesn't do much for games , levels made load a little faster , but game play is the same.
