I am wondering what hard drive I should pair with my ssd. I am thinking about purchasing this ssd: Samsung
840 EVO MZ-7TE120BW 120GB SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive, and I need hdd to use for storage. If you have any suggestions about what ssd and hdd I should buy, please tell me. Here is the rest of my build:

Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 High Airflow

MSI Z87-G45 Gaming Socket LGA 1150 ATX Intel Motherboard

CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)

Samsung 840 EVO MZ-7TE120BW 120GB SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive

Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell 3.5GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core

2x SAPPHIRE 100364-4GBF4L Radeon R9 270X 4GB GDDR5 Crossfire

CORSAIR CXM series CX750M 750W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular

Thanks for the help.

I would suggest spending the extra money for a 250GB Evo. 120Gb isn't alot of storage, especially if you are a gamer. I chewed up my 240GB pretty quickly over a years time with a lot of games. Granted you can just uninstall them or back them up to a drive if they are through STEAM, but that's a pain. Just a thought.

As far as HDD, depends on what you want to use it for. Just Data? Maybe a WD Green drive or a Blue drive. Doesn't need to be fast, just reliable. Unless you need that drive to be faster for some reason, maybe a WD Black or Seagate Hybrid drive.
