help - what drive to get - bang for the buck?

[ingear]

so i purchased this system

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lenovo-ThinkServer-TS140-70A4003AUX-4U-Tower-Server-Intel-Xeon-E3-1226-v3-3-3Ghz-/311646756322?customid=67080732929611e6b2acd645681707160INT&pub=5574652453&campid=5337259887&afepn=5337259887&icep_id=117&ipn=icep&hash=item488f981de2:g:1NYAAOSwbsBXj5SA&afepn=5337259887&rmvSB=true

to do occasional Adobe Priemere and FTP storage ..

I will put Win 7 64bit on it .. it supports up to 3TB partitions?

now i need an SSD for OS

I figure 120GB will do?
what drives to get?

and the more storage the better .. so what drives are a good deal?
3TB WD?

how about this $76 or $77

has anyone seen a better deal? please share

and what RAM to get? it has 4GB .. I'd put 16GB
idea is to wait for it to come and go to crucial.com

8GB is $57
any better deal out there for this

The cheapest 120/128GB SSD should be good enough, the only ones to skip are Crucial BX200, Kingston V300 and OCZ Trion 100 which are just downright terrible. The best bang for buck are probably ADATA SP550, Kingston UV400 and Sandisk X400.

Regarding regular hard drives, it doesn't matter what you choose because all fail almost equaly fast but in my experience the most reliable ones were Hitachi and Toshiba drives.
