Both have worked flawlessly. Before too very much longer I'll likely be getting a new system. It will probably come with a HDD by default, but I'm cobsidering specifying a SSD instead. I like the isea of a SSD because it has no moving parts etc. Advice and comments most welcome and thanks. > > For the system drive I think that SSD is the only way to go. It might even suffice for the entire storage on the computer if your mass-storage needs are minimal. Some people can get by with 500gB and some can't. 1tB SSDs are still a bit too pricey for me. The machine I'm typing on now has a 500gB Samsung M.2 SSD "C:" drive and a 3tB HDD "D: E: F:" drive but I'm not one who cleans up old data very often because you never know when you might need that file from ten years ago. -- Bodger's Dictum: Artifical intelligence can never overcome natural stupidity.
