Hello everyone, the question of storage has reemerged after taking another look at my build.
I was planning on using a Samsung 840 pro 256gb ssd along with a western digital 1tb caviar black hdd. Lately, however, I've been thinking about dumping the hdd and going the full ssd route for multiple reasons.
Firstly would be the fact that I don't use very much space at all, I've filled up maybe 200 gigs in the past year and a half. Secondly, I aim to build an extremely quiet pc, and a hard drive with less than 100 gigs seems a poor reason to break such a goal. Thirdly, I've read about the reliability of these hdds and I'm not too impressed.
These thoughts made me move in a different direction. Perhaps buying a 512gb 840 pro and putting all my programs and files on that drive might be a better option. I am still not convinced.
Any feedback on this topic will be greatly appreciated!
