Some Questions!
Why do you guys think is better for gaming?
What are the compared speeds?
What would you buy?


P.S I currently have a 1TB regular hard drive so I have storage already but i'm looking for something quicker.

Thanks!

Go with the SSD. It is a bit more expensive but you will be happier with it. As all hybrids, these drives don't do either function particularly well. The hard disk portion is usually 5600 speed to keep costs down and the NAND part is too small to seriously impact operations.

Just remember to NOT load your read/write intensive programs on the SSD, but rather on your traditional hard disk. The SSD is better off as a traditional C drive.
