SSD is highly recommended for OS boot up, main programs and games.

Your video, picture, songs and movies. Is best to be stored in HDD. If possible, invest in WD Black or Red series. I don't trust so much on GREEN series unless is AV-GP green series.

In fact i stored my programs and musics on my USB thumbdrive lol sweat.gif cause i keep switching between new and old OS.

Green had aggressive head parking problem which led to many earlier batch premature death. Newer batch seems okay already, Black isn't good either. Thanks to lousy WD harddisk, i've RMA 4 of their HDD and now my comp have 9TB of useless storage space doh.gif  sweat.gif  rclxub.gif 

No need Black unless you want longer warranty, Blue or AV-GP series is already good enough.
And there are no reliable HDD brand, scheduled backup/RAID1 your HDD is the rule of thumb to prevent data loss.

Is WD Green really that unreliable?

I have a 2TB WD Green purchased late last year which I plugged to my DLink NAS. No complains though. Or maybe I'm the sole user and I only power on the NAS during weekend. Plus I presume I'm not that aggressive on the read and write as the drive is shared out over wireless network. You know how the transfer speed is over wireless. tongue.gif

Guys, for a meager budget of RM300 to RM400 top, which SSD would you recommend? I'm looking for something around 120GB in capacity.
