(Legend if you write i'm Disney guy XD).

So, i chose to buy a Samsung 840 Pro 256Gb but why there are 6gb more ? Maybe the real capacity will be 250gb ? Thanks :) .

Ahh, and is better this or Samsung 840 Evo 500gb SSD ?

You'll get ~240GB of space in a 256GB SSD. Know why here:

Also, if you're going with 250GB, you'll likely need a HDD to store data (the C drive will fit with ease in it though).
With a 500GB, you can eliminate a HDD as 500GB is plenty for lots of games and other stuff as well.

I'll go with 250GB SSD and 1TB HDD combo, the best option storage wise IMO. But if speed is your priority, then a single 500GB SSD is not too bad :)

You don't get all the space in a ssd, some of it is taken up by system files etc. Same with RAM, you can't use all of the RAM you have installed but for games even 128gb is fine, so 256gb will be more than enough imo if you just game

Well, the cause is i'll just want to keep BF4 and Survival Games... then if i Download games like Far Cry 4.. then when i'll finish it, i'll delete it and so on (don't call Police XD).

What I wanted to say is,

Both in 250GB and 500GB, you can fit many, many games and other programs w/o having to worry about space.

Its just that with 250GB, you'll need a HDD to story data like files, videos, music and stuff (Not games, there's enough space on SSD).

With 500GB, you might just eliminate any HDD as 500GB is plenty for both games and programs and music and videos and all such stuff, unless you're a movie buff.

And by your reply, I think you can just buy a 250GB SSD and forget even about HDD if you don't wish to store too much data (again, I don't mean games, I mean files/ videos/ music/ stuff). Or get a 500GB SSD and surely forget about any more storage drive :)

Thanks :) .

Mhhh i think i won't download music because i only listen to it (or "i listen to it only "?) with my Huawey Bug Y300 :) .

Video i don't think... for the porn there are very fantastic sites in the web <3.

So i think i chose. Ahh, i send this message with a pc with just 250GB HDD XD.
