Hey guys!
So since ive been travelling around a fair bit I havent been able to use my computer much which while annoying as I cant play games at the framerate I would like its still fine for Work,Watching videos and such.

The Laptops HDD has a read write speed of about 8-12MB/s Which isnt the best (AT ALL) and is only around 600GB im looking for a HDD I can use that has the following properties.

-Good Read Write Speeds 7200RPM or SSD (If Cheap)
-Good Pricing I dont want to be spending lots of money on this max like 60-70 (So probably not an SSD) Size 1TB maybe?
-2.5 Inch (I think)

That will fit in my laptop - Advent Monza E1 Series frame but different motherboard and such.

Reason I would like a Higher Read/Write Speed In school im doing a few Video Projects that require me to record and edit files but the Read write speed is to low also on top of that the general speed of moving files is to damn slow - I also Dont have room for all my films,music,games and etc.

Help would be appreciated.
(I did take a look myself but wasnt sure of the speeds and was wondering if there was any recommendations)

How much storage do you really need? A good 256GB SSD may be a wise solution. or even a 256GB SSD and a 500GB Portable HDD if you need more space.

I need to be able to record and transfer files at decent speeds and I dont really want an external device as I dont really want to be carrying another thing around which ill probably leave behind and never see it again.

Ive been doing some more looking around and I found this is it anygood? 50GBP and i have 70GBP to spend.

Up to three times faster than a traditional HDD

Which can vary.

You wont get SSD performance, but it will feel quicker than using a standard 2.5inch HDD.
