So, 256GB of SSD is moar better than 1TB of HD becawse?
Besides lighter and, no moving parts?
The SSD is absolutely going to be better, until you have more than 256GB of stuff you try to put on it. Depending on how you use it, it might make a lot more sense to with an external media drive (which are cheap, replaceable, you can make duplicates of, and are useful for backing stuff up). I find that I only need 256GB of storage that I really use frequently (a Windows OS partition with the collection of productivity, video editing, gaming, and school/work related software takes up about 150GB. I can store the music I actually listen to and a dozen favorite movies, and have room to spare).
What hogs space is backups (Acronis backup files), and mostly videos/movies... unless you're a photog, then it's the raw quantity of pictures (and duplicates in various states of processing).
