Hello.
I just bought a new setup, but skipped the hdd. I thought I would be ok with the old one. It's a 500GB WD.
It's been making weird sounds for a while now. Tons of sounds. I know it's dying soon.

I decided I should get a new one. Now, I'm thinking about getting a 120gb SSD and a 1TB HDD.

I'm buying everything from www.1a.lv and I'm from Latvia.

I'm using the PC for video editing and gaming.

1) Intel 330 SSD 120GB (68Ls)

Should I go for this SSD? I see loads of good reviews. And then there are bad ones. Your experience?

2) The hard drive is a tricky choice. I would store all my files on it, including videos and most applications.
This seems as a rather cheap option:

I want to choose one of these, just not sure which would be the most reliable.

The price difference is so small, don't "cheap out" on something you will be depending on.
Buy This One and you're golden.

330 series is great, I would own one. I agree with Blain on the hdd, buy the WD black.

The WD Black is hard to beat for performance and also reliabilty. If going 7200rpm I would definatly go with it.

Top notch in reliability. For HD, do what blain said.

But I suggest not installing games on this SSD. Just for OS and apps. Believe it or not 128GB you can install all your apps and OS and have jpgs and movies and you just reach 128GB. Well thats my dads SSD, hes still got room. He also runs premiere. ,,,,,Also all games go to your 1TB drive. gl
