Now that is quite interesting. I think I'd hate having to choose what to install on the SSD, though. Maybe if they could make the SSD bigger it would be more of a tempting offer.

Thought as much. I'm thinking 500ish gig ssd and a nas box to stick the old drive in.

It's pretty much the best way - that said, I have a two drive laptop and I use the non-SSD for all of my "storage" (Mostly work stuff, but my Steam stuff is also there) and use the SSD for all other software installations and the OS.

I'm pretty sure kine was meant to have two bays, but when I opened it up it's only one. My original plan was ssd + normal drive :-(

IIRC, the WD Black only runs on Windows and requires specific software running.

Might be mixing it up with something else, but I'm pretty sure I decided against it for something along those lines. (Which might not be an issue in this situation, but if anyone else is looking...)

Having been previously sort of opposed to SSDs I did a u-turn and got one the other day. Being on Linux means I don't have to choose between installing the OS or the apps on the SSD (since the two are kinda indivisible). So I just put everything on the SSD and will just install the odd large game to HDD.

My PC now boots from bootloader to desktop in 4 seconds. Which is ridiculous. (And not all that useful really).

Browser opens instantly which is nice.

Think I'll get a big one. Sick of 5 minutes plus to get a usable system. :(

I use that valuable 5 minutes to fetch and pour a cold beer. If I knew my PC was already up and running, it would destroy my enjoyment.

One thing, once you get an SSD you can never go back to mechanical drives for system drives ever again :)

Want, not need.

Use your thoughts, Luce.

Didn't you buy a PCSpecialist laptop?

If so the second bay is a replacement for the dvd drive so if you have one of those you'll have to order the hd bay.

That's what i did. I have an external dvd drive, which i've never used, and got a second drive in the bay.
