cjloki Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Thread repurposed, (again) Okay so I THINK I want to finally purchase an SSD. I guess a used one would be a good first step since I'm not made of money. I would assume that running a 64GB SSD with Win7 as a boot drive and keeping all my files on my 500GB WD Caviar Blue would work out well... ocz vector or samsung 840 pro = fast !...and yea, waht he said,...128gb minimum...

Onion Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 +1 for min 120 GB. I'm running a 120 as my OS drive and a hybrid 7200 rpm as my secondary drive. I've found I've got some space issues when I start installing multiple games to their default location. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey,Locutus. why don't you just start a new tread, this one is very confuseing .As for your question, a 120gb would be the smallest I would put in.IMHO ! If I did that every time I wanted to buy something I'd already have 3 threads on the first page of the marketplace. +1 for min 120 GB. I'm running a 120 as my OS drive and a hybrid 7200 rpm as my secondary drive. I've found I've got some space issues when I start installing multiple games to their default location. I don't play a whole ton of games but most of the ones I do don't need to be installed on the SSD. For example, League of Legends is a game that everyone loads in simultaneously, so I would still be waiting for others to load before anything happens. I would mostly do it for games with terrible loading times...which lately hasn't been a problem... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Hey Loc - I'm just going to second, third and fourth what everyone else has said........ get a 120 or 128Gb minimum. You'll regret it if you don't. While we can sit around and compare benchmarks all day long, and debate reliability, first time quality etc. you're going to be hard pressed to beat this deal here; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820721107 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohldboy Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Unless you find a deal, a 64 GB at very good deal, 128 GB makes more sense. Larger drives work better. Samsung 840's go on sale around $90, 60 GB are often $70-80. I got two Kingston HyperX 3K 128 on sale for $70 each, two Samsung 830 128 GB at $80 each. There was a recent good price in Kingston V300.
