Best Hard Drives & Best SSDs For Your Money: March 2010

If you have the time, reading detailed hard drive/SSDs reviews and specs are a lot of fun. However, most of us don’t have the time to do the research and just want the answers. In other words, what you want to know is what are the best hard drives/SSDs within your budget.

So if you don’t have the time to do the research, or just don’t care to do it, don’t worry. I’ll come to your help with this guide of the Best Hard Drives and Best SSDs for your money.

$2000 Gaming PC: Who else wants a 128GB SSD?

When I started to consider which parts to recommend for this build, I took a look at the $1500 Gaming Build and asked myself the following: “Which parts should be upgraded in order to offer the most perceivable performance boost? What will offer you (the reader) the best bang for your buck?”

I then looked at every part, one by one. I stop and asked myself if the cost of upgrading a part would bring any real-life benefit. Could the money be invested on another part instead, that would give you a better experience overall?

The choices that I made in my recommendations for this build will reflect that way of thinking. This build, in my opinion, is the pinnacle of what you can get for a $2000 Gaming Build. Enjoy!

Raising Funds for Hardware Revolution’s New Workstation PC

My current “workstation” from which I manage Hardware Revolution and write articles on, an HP tx1000 tablet laptop, has been plagued with problems for the last few months and could now fail at any time. Despite various attempts to fix it, the problem remains.

My solution is to build a new Workstation PC from scratch, based on a mix of the $500 and $1000 Workstation Builds.

Starting today and until the end of March, I’ll be raising funds toward building this new Workstation in order to replace my failing laptop and to help me keep improving Hardware Revolution for you.

My goal is to raise $1000, which will cover the build, a monitor, shipping and taxes.
