Hard drives SSD and platter drives
There are allot of options now with hard disk drives( HDD ) now you have to decide between sizes, brands, connection type, and Now Solid State drives (SSD), hybrid drives and platter drives. So where do you start? Well ideally you would want a SSD for your Operating system and most often used programs. What size SSD depends on what programs you use most often but I would start with about a 120gb. The problem with SSD's a 120gb start at about $130 and go up from there, when you include the cost of a data drive 2TB at about $100. the next option is a hybrid HDD this a standard HDD with with 64mb cache built in this is a performance increase over standard HDD but it cost almost as much as the SSD option so I would suggest a standard HDD if you cant afford the SSD option. as far as brands go I recommend Seagate for HDD's and Intel for SSD's.
