depends if you need speed or storage. speed: go for the SSD, storage: go for a Seagate ST4000DM000 4TB HDD.
sure you got 1tb SSDs but they cost more than a new mac, i got a 4TB HDD for $178 and it's plenty fast for me.
i tried flashing BIOS from a pirated version of windows, the key i put in was valid but the flash causer the SATA card to freeze and there went my mobo.
surface failed. no surprise here! its sort of like the rest of the computing market except theres no choice you're being forced to metro, same with win8/blue and i don't think people like being forced. the way i see it its like win3.11 but people had choices with win3.11 like they could stick...
