Hey guys. So, basically, few weeks back I ordered parts for my new pc. I ordererd everything, except new Hard disk, because I thought it was the last part I could upgrade.
I have 5 years old Caviar Green 1TB and now I got some money and Im thinking about upgrading/replacing it. The main reason for upgrading is its speed...which is slooooow. (not complaining over overall performance, still works like a charm)

Can you guys help me, what should I order? Should I go for new HDD and just use it together with my Caviar green, or should I go for SSD?
 
Solution
You should get an SSD and a new HDD (WD Blue, maybe)
If the budget does not permit, then just the HDD.

Use the old Green for just storage, realizing it is 5 yrs old, slow, and may die at any time.
