SSD is the only way to go - 2 tb worth is even better.

After owning a Crucial 1 TB SSD i became a believer in the lightning speed of solid state drives and now I have 4 of them. Samsung is one of the better drives you can get. The Samsung migration tool program clones your drive fast (took me about 40 minutes to clone 250 GB worth of OS + data from the old drive to the new), and it comes with a good warranty (5 years I think). SSD's are as fast as they say, boot times are cut in half, and access to programs and files is as fast as you're going to get with 2017 tech. If you have a state of the art comp, you're not getting the fastest speed out of it, unless you have an SSD. But spending $600 for the 2 TB one isn't for everybody. So if you can get by with the 1 TB drive (for half the price) that might be the best compromise of price and capacity.Read full review
