Seeing as I am building a new system soon I was looking around the house for any old parts when I found the set top box that my ISP sent me trying to get me to sign up to their TV service. Anyway after quickly disassembling it there was a shiny and unused Western Digital 1600AVBB sitting in the middle of it. Cutting to the chase, as I only have £40 to spend on storage, should I pair the 1600AVBB with a Sandisk 64gb 6gb/s SSD (for 224 gb) or just a WD blue 500gb (for 564 gb). I know everyone will instantly say SSD but hear me out. I (it might just be me) can not find anything on the speed of the 1600AVBB. Seeing as I think my main games (Battlefield and loads of valve games (including all the expansions)) and windows will take up the SSD I fear any other games will load way to slow on the old HDD.
Any input is appreciated and thank you in advance.
