Without much known about you I can write that the majority of SSDs I have installed last year are either in the 240 to 256GB or the 480 to 512GB range. Very few went beyond that size.
If there is any doubt and the budget allows, my nod is to the 480 to 512GB sizes.
Hello all,
I just bought a new Hp Envy and everything about it seems great but im not a fan of the hdd drive. I suppose theres nothing really wrong with it id just like to swap it fpr a ssd. Its a 1tb hdd and im not sure if i should get another tb or if 500 gb would suffice. Id have the existing hdd as a external drive if i needed it also. I wont be saving a ton of movies or gaming but i also dont want to run out of space or get slow in a year or two. I know it may seem like im cheaping out but why waste $120 if i dont need to.
The price is $270 for 1tb or $150 for 500gb.
