Hi everyone, I'm building a new PC on a budget and could really use some advice on using an SSD or an HDD.
Samsung 830 Series 128GB SSD
or
Western Digital Caviar black 1TB HDD
Both drives are priced very similarly with the SSD only costing about $5 more. I know the SSD is far faster but is it worth sacrificing the much larger storage space of the HDD?
If I do decide to buy the SSD, is it a good idea to use an external hard drive that I already own as temporary storage until I can buy an internal HDD?
Normally I would go with the SSD but I also think that if I purchase the HDD first, the prices of the SSD will only continue dropping then I can buy it later on.
Any help would be appreciated
p.s sorry for the multiple questions
