If I’m not mistaken the 240gb ssd + 500gb hd combination is a tiiiny little cheaper, which one y’all think is more worth it and why?

500GB SSD. I assume you can always add a hard drive later so might as well get an SSD that’s a good size so you won’t have to replace it later.
I see, that’s a good point thanks!
That’s the way I would go as well. What’s the main stuff being stored on the drive?
Well, the intention of this question in getting some opinions for a possible new pc, so i don’t have any of the drives yet
Yeah, I guess the question was more of if you’re going to have a lot of media on the drives and you’re on a budget. If that was the case it could be a reason to go more storage vs SSD only. If it’s gaming then I’d take the SSD to store more games on the faster drive.
Budget is really tight so it’s gonna be a pretty simple pc, just plan to use for relatively basic gaming and daily use, i guess the 500gb ssd is the best option then right?
That’s what I would go for then, yeah.
I see, thanks!
Can you even buy 500 GB HDDs these days? I can get 1tb drives from my local Officeworks for $63AUD, but that’s pretty uneconomical when you can get 10tb drives for $360AUD.
Get the largest SSD you can, and buy a HDD later on when you can afford it. You can get slight discounts on HDDs by buying external hard drives and “Shucking” them (removing the casing and using the disk inside). You may need to do some research to work out if it’s possible for the drive you want to buy though, not all are shuckable
Hmm, ok, thank you!
