SSD is always better. But the amount of space could hurt your wallet. I use my 256GB C300 for all main applications / games. If you need storage for media just get something else on the side. 15k < SSD

what about the performance of SATA v3 ?
transfer rate of SATA3 is 600MB/s where as an SSD's 300MB/s.
In SSD, access times and IOps are better then HDD, which are great in transferring large files, but to store that large files in SSD you need to dig a real deep hole in your pocket

be some serious geek cred.

lolz, why you feel that ?

You do realise SATA3 SSD's are on the market now don't you ?

I would pick the 300 GB instead. I think its enough to have the C partition in a SSD.
