Which Hard Drive...

[lionwing]

I am putting together a Optimus V laptop spec for around £800.00. The machine will be used for gaming and general use with either Windows 7 or 8..not decided which yet..

However...which Hard Drive would give me better performance...

750GB WD SCORPIO BLACK WD7500BPKX, SATA 6 Gb/s, 16MB CACHE (7200 rpm)

or...

1TB SEAGATE HYBRID GEN3 SSHD Drive, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64MB CACHE (5400 rpm)

Thanks guys...

You'll get the best value by not giving yourself any configurable choice and just going with the £879 Optimus in the reviews section (http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/reviews/) which has an SSD and a main drive.

Unfortunately £800.00 is my limit!

Thanks for the advice my question was more about performance of the hard drives than alternative purchase options.

I do have £800.00 limit on my spend as well.
