I have a 2008 15" Macbook pro with a 320GB HDD, core2duo @ 2.53Ghz processor and 4gb ddr3 ram.
The macbook has been pretty slow recently, basically because it's full of crap.
So I am planning on doing a clean install of Yosemite on either my 320gb HDD, a new SSD or a new Hybrid drive.
The question is which one to go for?
Ok, so the link speed of my SATA connection is 3 Gb/s and 1.5 Gb/s negotiated link speed (whatever that means)
I also want to spend less than $100 so please take that into account.
Should I:
i) Buy a new SSD (~160gb) in place of my 320gb HDD and somehow replace my superdrive with my 320gb HDD
ii) Buy a new SSD (~160gb) and put it in place of my 320gb drive.
iii) Buy a new Hybrid drive (~1Tb) in place of my 320gb hdd
iv) Keep my hdd because it is not worth the investment.
