What sort of HDD/SSD combination should I have?

Mir117 · Dec 1, 2014

I'm looking to upgrade my rig's storage. It's a gaming rig, and currently has a 500gB 7200 RPM Toshiba. It get's full quickly. (due to large games like Skyrim and Fallout) I want the total price to be under $200, and would like a least a tB on the HDD, and enough on the SSD for the OS and a few frequently used programs/games. I'd also like to keep using the old HDD, if possible. Which HDD and SSD should I buy?

This is a good solution:

LordConrad :

I've heard that blue WD HDDs are less then optimal for gaming though.

I haven't heard that, but you could always spring for the WD Black drive instead.
