[QUOTE="datfreak, post: 958684, member: 19079"] My current HTPC uses a 2tb WD green drive for everything. I plan to keep this drive for the new rig. I'm about to order parts for a new HTPC - going to go with low end I3 3225 and a giga or asus h77 board. Now with SSD being cheaper, I'm considering getting either a 128 or 256gb. This pc will be standalone - and the 2 tb media drive will be network accessible. Obviously the ssd will be the OS drive and mediaportal drive. but should I get one big enough for TV recording or should I have that recording on the slower 2tb hdd? A lil 128gb sdd is only $100ish but that would not hold much recorded tv. A 256gb sdd would work for tv recording, but doesn't leave much room, plus is more expensive. thoughts? Also because SSD boot time are so much quicker, is it still worthwhile using S3 anymore or is it just as quick to do a full shutdown/restart? thanks for your thoughts [/QUOTE]
