Hard Drive choice

[Stanley71]

I have two options for a HD on my new computer 1: 32 GB octane memory accelerated 2TB 7200RPM HD or 2: 256GB M.2.PCle SSD plus 2TB SATA GBS. Not sure what all that means anyone have a comment on which one to chose?

I don't have a choice on what hard drive they install.

What are you using the computer for? My vote will always be SSD for main hard drive for all programs and the OS to run on. But 256gb is small if it's also where you store all of your files. If you can, get both. One large drive for files and one small SSD for programs.

Thanks DavidDavid

An ssd for the main drive would be great it would be worth more than the entire computer so that opinions out of the question. Just concerned about the difference of the two in my first post.

Your option #2 appears to be a 256gb SSD and a 2tb (I'm assuming mechanical) drive.

And who's building this computer for you? I bought a 256 SSD last year for $80....
