Yeah, you don't want to ask me about modern storage drives.
Current PC
Boot Drive: Samsung SM951 m.2 256GB PCI-Express SSD (~$310)
Games Drive: Samsung 850 Evo 1TB SATA SSD (~300)
Storage Drive: Seagage 3TB 7,200 RPM SATA HDD (~70)
Last PC
Boot Drive: Samsung 850 Evo 256GB SATA SSD (~140)
Storage Drive: Western Digital Black 1TB 7,200 RPM SATA HDD (~100)
I don't do anything cheap because every time I do, shit fails and I get burned (not literally). So now not ONLY am I a firm believer in SSD technology (the boot times and program load times are STUPID FAST!) but I also buy highly-rated stuff and never skimp.
