but, as i am new to this and because i have read review after review after review and post after post, i just feel contradicted with opinions.
i have to choose some memory for my first build, i have bought some ram, but i am struggling to see the difference between hard drives other than slight differences on transfer speed.
i have usb3.0 available to me so this has opened my options up slightly, but in terms of going for a HD as a standalone memory unit or havin a HD and an SSD for the operating system im not sure where to start.
i like the look of the western digital my passport drive, its simple and reasonably priced, and to be honest, the rest of my rig isnt the absolute top end anyway so im not too fussed with squeezing every last drop out of it.
so really, im just wondering if this is a good choice for hard drive, and would i actually need an SSD for the operating system, i am in two minds, as if it is not necessary, then i could just save the money, but if there is a massive difference in performance then what would people recommend.
cheers guys
