Do i still need a HDD, as i've overheard things about SSD's write cycle, thus recommending users not to store media, paging files, etc etc. on the SSD?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you :)

I think people worry way to much about writing and deleting stuff from ssd's it does reduce performance but not by much, all of my drives have been through hell and back, but still work great. I think that you will be fine as long as that file everyone has doesn't get to large

Hi raihan4
no not at all , what you suggest is fine , you can always purchase an external drive for storage later on :)

It depends on how much you want to store. Hdd can be large. Ssd's are expensive and only get to 1tb. 5 system images can eat that up. I like 750ssd and 3tb hdd together...
