What about a SSD for running windows and a HD for everything else? Is that not recommended for what I have?

I would recommend that. I f you have all your Windows files on an ssd then your computer will boot up a lot faster. Then you can have all your other files on the HD such as games, pictures etc. If you are in the market for a new HD then I suggest one that runs at similar or faster rpms so you don't see a decrease in speed.

An SSD would be great for your OS and core programs, you would have to re-install Windows on that drive though.. Make sure to have a good backup of anything you might need beforehand like your documents, pictures, etc

It's too late for that....r.i.p. *sobs

Ok, so ideally if I only wanted to buy a SSD for windows only...how much space should it have?

Black November on Newegg! Amazon always has sales...

This is the best time of year to buy computer parts.

You could go very minimal with your SSD and use it just for the essential programs that you want to load quick and then put the rest of your money into a nice terrabyte HDD for the rest.

If you want a top performing drive then get the Samsung 840 Pro 240GB.

If that's a little too pricey, then here's some other decent options:

Samsung 840, 840 evo

Intel 520, 525, 530

Sandisk Extreme II

Kingston HyperX 3K, SSDNow V300

If you find something else you like then post the model, size, price and I (or somebody else) can let you know if it's a decent drive.

Don't get rid of that old drive, it's possible you might be able to get some of your data through a data retrieval service or even some software programs

      jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection. Yes   Application stats UserId: 943213736024498227 Username: jelly3384 User: @Rec. J. Buford Duration: 1131 seconds Joined guild at: a day ago
