can't work out why the more expensive one is $400 more but seems to have the same specs only less storage space?

The more exxy one has solid state hard drives, which are a lot faster to load shit than mechanical/normal hard drives.

I have a 128gb one in my desktop along with 2 x 1TB "normal" hard drives for media storage. You typically install the operating system and most frequently used apps/games on the solid state for faster access. Windows loads about 5-10 seconds faster etc.

If you haven't been running your comp/laptop on SSD before this ... you are in for a treat lawls. Dat speed.

[CrispyFries]

SSDs also have a finite number of writes, so it's best to put things like apps on them that don't change and your data on the standard drive. But if you don't have a standard drive then it doesn't matter...

[Birds]

I went from an 8 year old Dell laptop to my current PC - my mind was always going to be blown with or without SSDs lol. But now that I have one, there's no going back...

[Birds]

Finite being a number we prolly won't reach in the lifetime of the computer haha

[CrispyFries]

Shhhh

[dezz]

So worth the extra $400 for the more expensive one? sale ends tomorrow at 7am..

[Birds]

I don't think it's worth $400 more for that upgrade. I only got one cause they are $130 in a desktop. You lose 512gb of space by not going for the other one, so for me it'd probably be a question of how much space I needed. Not that you can't get external hard drives but fk messing around with that.

[viper2002]

Considering you can buy your own 512GB SSD for $400 it's not worth the upgrade. I'd go the cheaper one, and if you find you want extra speed then upgrade to a 512GB SSD.

SSD's die all the time, especially when used as an OS boot drive.

Honestly, unless you are using a computer in the field and you actually -needs- the extra few seconds ..... WTF even bother. Buy 100,000,000,999 TB's of SATA storage instead :S

Not true. HDD's actually have a higher failure rate than SSD's. I've also experienced this myself, never had to return an SSD but I've had multiple HDD's fail in the past.
