250GB or 500GB SSD?

MrPGamingInc · Nov 12, 2014

I am buying a new computer soon, and I'm getting a 3TB HDD and a SSD. However, I am having a hard time deciding between 250 or 500 GB for the SSD. I'm only gonna be using the SSD for the OS, and some games, and I might use it for some pictures but nothing is determined because I still wanted to know what size I should get before committing. My budget is nothing crazy, anything over $238.98 (the price of the SSD I currently have selected) should be fine. So... Opinions? /Suggestions? /Advice?

If you can afford and accept the price then get the 500GB version.

250GB is enough for OS, programs, and most games. If you have lots of games then get 500gb. I have a 250gb one and it is plenty of room for me. If there is a game I want I can load it on my HDD instead. Also, all my pictures and movies are on the HDD too. No need for them on the SSD.

'Bigger is usually better". i have a 500 ssd in one machine with a 2T and 250 ssd in another with a 1T . i haven't found the 250 to be too small. if money is at all concern, I believe the 250 will serve you well. look at the Samsung evo 840's FYI, they are great drives

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how much "free room" do you think I would have to work with if I only put the OS in there and left the rest for games. Or in simplest terms, how many games do you think I could store in the SSD while also having the OS in there?
