I am considering getting an SSD but i really cant afford to splash the cash and get and ideally sized one (120gb+). So i'm wondering what i can get away with.
My current set up is a 500gb External Drive used as storage (you know the kind
)
And a 150Gb SATA drive which even with my best efforts, sits there with between 10-30gb free at any one time.
My thought is to get a small SSD and use it for:
OS
1 or 2 Games which are installed at the time
Hard Drive hungry apps which I use a lot like the Adobe Suite & Office
Everything else I would then want to install on the SATA drive instead like:
Download software
Media Players
(basically any app where i dont mind waiting for it to run, or it's not resource hungry)
So my question is:
What size SSD drive would i get away with if I just wanted it for what i have said above? I'm nervous of buying one which is too small to be practical.
