Hi,
I was wondering if installing a SSHD in place of the stock 1 TB HD and then adding a second SSD drive (maybe 500gb) would be redundant?
I have backed up my things on an external so I could always wipe the stock 1 TB HD and just add the SSD ... but then I wonder if I am nearing the death of the stock hard drive (haven't yet run a hardware test).
I was thinking of upgrading to an i7, do a total of 32GB ram, but now I'm wondering what combo I should do, if any, with the hard drive.
I would like to keep photos and videos off the computer entirely and bring things over as needed and/or use dropbox. My computer has gotten so cluttered over the years I want to make sure I stick to a system that will keep the computer clean and running quickly.
Does this sound worth while or should I just throw in the towel, save up and get something new?
