Hello! so i have been thinking about buying a new drive for my computer because my old drive is always on 100% disk usage. I have been doing research and a lot of people say SSD is the way to go but i don't know anything about hard drives. I have and Alien ware Aurora R2 so i don't know if an SSD will work, i am only looking for a 500gb drive. Any recommendations or advice would be awesome, THANKS!
Will a SSD work?

Yes, an SSD will work.
Which one for 500GB? Samsung 850 EVO. ~$160

It is not really any different than a regular HDD.
Just way faster, quieter, and probably more reliable.
I just put that exact drive in my main system last week. Upgraded from a 840 EVO 250GB, upgraded from a Kingston 120GB.
Is this to be the primary drive in your system?

Your current drive always being at 100% use might be one of two things...
A dying drive
or
Too much crap running (virus, etc)
(might be...)
If you simply clone a virused up drive to an SSD, you are just moving the virus junk to a new drive.
