    I'm an idiot, need advice plz!

    Here is my build. I bought a WD Caviar Black and Im having second thoughts. Ive been using a laptop for 4 years now I used to travel and its been great. I never used alot of space really tho (its only 500g) and Ive only used about half that maybe.

    So I bought the HD already, it comes today. I'm not sure if I should return it and get hit with $20 restock so I can get a SSD or keep or buy both (kinda strapped for $$$)

    What are your thoughts?

    I'd just keep the caviar black & pass on the SSD for now but that's just me. I personally have both the SSD & Caviar in my system & love it but if I was to ditch one, I'd ditch the SSD since it only has 120GB but the caviar's got 1 TB.

    I agree with Madcaptn, SSDs are a luxury, HDDs are basically essential...

    Keep the Caviar Black, save some money up and buy an SSD later.

    if it was me i would take the 120gb hd over the 1tb hdd..different strokes for different folks though. i could fill 120gb no problem but since its my laptop i would take the sacrifice..its really just up to you.. fast small storage, or big slower storage.
