my laptop is acer e5-475g, it has a toshiba 5400 rpm 1tb hard drive, i know i can put a ssd m.2 but i only kinda dizzy to choose sshd or ssd, sshd have big capacity, pretty fast but not as fast as ssd, and ssd fast but relatively expensive with small capacity, which makes me kinda hard to choose though

I am a huge fan of SSD caching, I have been a dataplex user since the Crucial Adrenaline came out, after 8 years as a cache drive crystaldisk estimates the drive at 70% so still running strong.
