HDD Vs. SSD - best drive configuration for a new laptop?

[zoobooboozoo]

Hi all. I'm gonna be a new laptop this weekend and I was wondering what's the best drive configuration for it.

I' recon I can only have a 2 drive configuration with a laptop since 3 or 4 like you can have with a desktop is rather cumbersome(But I'm open to suggestions).

so...
1) 1TB SSD
2) 1 512 SSD + 1TB HD
3) 1 small SSD for OS & apps + 512 SSD for eveything else ?
4) other options?

I need more that 512GB. that's for sure...

Would love to hear your thoughts,
thanks.

if you can afford the 1tb ssd option do it - not only will it be maximally fast for ALL content, it'll extend the runtime of your laptop on battery (power consumption is so much less than a hdd - espec if you'd otherwise have things like streaming sample libs on the hdd in which case it'd seldom go to sleep)

obviously whatever laptop you're looking at has the ability to have a m2 ssd and a 2.5" hdd - so I'd go one step further and put in a 2nd (cheap - samsung evo) ssd in the 2.5" bay as well

SSD's will give you a lot more for your money!
RAM is also very important for sample cache.
