Also go for a Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120GB its an ssd that will help boot times and other things other than that it looks pretty good.


Oh it will definitely be upgraded to 8GB in the near future. Just for now 4GB keeps it within budget though. And I didn't realise that SSD was so cheap, is there a reason for this?


Yeah the v300s suck I know I have one lol. They're faster than the standard hard drive. But yet not as fast as an ssd should be. This is because kingston swapped out the nand. Resulting in slower speeds.

Here's an article about it:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


Oh I didn't notice the v300s were so bad but the samsung850 evo should do it right


Yeah crucials ssds are good too


So would something like [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] be alright in the near future?


Yeah the Bx drives are decent.

Thanks. Just a quick question though: If the SSD were to be added later on, how could I go about installing Windows again onto it instead of the 1TB HDD?
