Im not a HDD or SSD expert by far. But thinking about putting in a SSD in a build I am doing for my sons gaming rig. And with all these changes in technology I am curious.
The mobo I am installing will be SATA 6.0 Gb/s and since the SDD are still a little pricey for a 14 year old boys gaming computer. I am beginning to wonder if I really need it. Is the additional speed of SSD really gonna make that much of a difference for the cost?
Options:
1TB 7200RPM Sata 6 GB/s with 64 MB Cache
OCZ Agility 90 GB Sata II SSD
Or any other recommendations.
I want to know if spending the $200.00 something odd bucks for the SSD is really going to make a difference in his gaming experience. I know the OS will go on the SSD and I am sure he should be able to fit a few of his favorite games. And he can use the HDD for data and other applications.
OR would I be better off doing a raid system of some type.
Please point me in the right direction.
Thanks
