SSD And a Caviar Drive
Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2013 1:14 pm
So i've seen the Kingston HyperX 3k 120GB SSD and i think i want them as my boot drive as such but then i ran into another problem while deciding what i want for this year's build
- Caviar Blue OR Black? I'm going for the 1TB ones as i already have a storage server in the hall
I know caviar black will definitely boost loading speeds dramatically compared to the Green or probably blue but they cost extra of course, is it worth it?
I am thinking a caviar blue will save me 23 bucks but as i'm throwing all my games into it (Can't afford to squeeze them into the SSD as well having to *ahem* "makes changes to" some stuff frequently inside so reliability is at question with such duty)
Maybe pairing up the fastest 7.2krpm harddisk with a decently low-price fast (well, it's pretty fast) SSD might make me happier?
I don't know, maybe someone who has decided on such a build would advise me (And yeah, all of the mobo's SATA is 6GBPS so you probably can tell what platform i am planning and it isn't anything high-end absolutely)
To me 28$ is pretty tempting ... especially if i'm such a big KHX fan, i have always used them in the past ... but my RAM can't be KHX for a couple of reasons, the voltage on the KHX is tested at 1333MHz and the 1866MHz spec is not tested so i'll have to go with G.Skill for RAM
