Right now I have a 250GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD as my main drive, a 500GB WD spinning drive and a 250GB external Maxtor. All 3 drives are running low on disk space. I could probably free up a fair bit on the 500GB WD and the 250GB external Maxtor if I really wanted to but both disks are fairly slow compared to my SSD so I am thinking of buying new SSD to supplement the current one.
What should I buy in the 500GB range for a SATA SSD if I am looking for something that isn't super-expensive? I am seeing some good local deals on both the WD Green and WD Blue but I have no clue if WD makes good SSDs or not and what the difference between the green and blue are...
Also if I do go ahead and buy a new SSD is there a way I can clone my current boot drive onto it (expanding the partition to the full size of the SSD) and then use that as my boot drive without having to reinstall Windows and all my stuff?
My motherboard is a Gigabyte H170M-D3H with a Core i5, 16GB of Kingston DDR4 memory and a GTX 750.
