Should i go for a WD black or a 64Gb SSD?

-->:arrow: Im ok with longer boot time and loading time of WD black.

-->:arrow:Only issue is the 'in game performance'. If there will be considerable difference in fps then ill go for SSD.


Ps: ill be pairing either one of these with a i5 2500k based system(which ill buy real soon)



Thanks for helping.:smile:

The game loading time will be faster with SSD.....however fps shall more or less depend upon the graphic card and ram i suppose:smile:

@mailme.manju, vickeybat, papa

Yeah i too couldnt find any claim of significant in game performance increase.
So ill get the WD black. The SSD can wait 6-8 months.

thanks for helping:smile:

You can even go for WD VelociRaptors..


Problems with VelociRaptors:

-->Too expensive compared to WD black and has only sligthly better performance.

-->Too slow(seek times) compares to SSD.

I think its better i go with WD black and buy an SSD sometime later(after 6 months)


and thanks for the response.:smile:
