If you have a tower, you should get a 128 GB SSD (Crucial M4, Samsung 830, and a few more I'm forgetting but really, stick with the M4 drives.) in addition to a regular 3.5 inch mechanical drive for storage. The less you write the the SSD, the longer it will last and the healthier it will be. That's why they're (for most purposes) best for storing your operating system, applications, caches, and maybe games. The 128 GB SSD is also considerably faster than the 64 GB because of the way the flash memory works. Speed increases with capacity, but 128 GB is the sweet spot in my opinion and the speed increments become smaller as you go up in capacity.
Getting a hybrid drive gets you a lot of compromises. A poor SSD with a compromised HDD. If you have a tower or a laptop that supports two drives, get them separately. If your laptop has an optical drive, you can more than likely swap it for another hard drive. If you need any help, tell me!

WHats the difference in all these ill probably get oneof these
The middle two are slimmer drives. 7 mm vs 9 mm. If you have a laptop, which model is it? It's more than likely not an issue, though. Some laptops just have skinnier drive bays. In this case, you'll want to get the cheapest of these four, the first one.

You're welcome! Are you going to get a mechanical drive for storage as well?

I'd recommend doing a fresh install and make sure you run it in the proper sat3 ports on the MOBO and set it in ACHI mode for the best performance.
