Hello,
I just wanted to see what people think about the whole ssd vs hdd thingy.
In my country a 1TB hdd's price is equivalent to a 128GB ssd.
Sometimes when I can, I fix laptops and sell them, and most of the times the hard disk is missing so I have to replace it. If a laptop is in good condition, and relatively new, I prefer to buy a new disk. What I realized, is if we take the average population they still don't know what an SSD is yet. All they care about is GBs. At least this is what I noticed from my experience. What to you think?

Problem is, once you start adding video and music, a 120GB SD quickly becomes too full.
It is fine for OS and applications (apart from games), but adding a 25GB music library, and a couple of 4GB movies, will choke it.

A 120GB drive is fine, as long as it is not the only drive, or the user has very light space requirements.
