Help deciding on what SSD/SSHD

[P.Delong]

Ok, so I already have a stock Apple SSD 128 GB. It's not cutting it for bootcamp as I'm already out of space. Now I am having a hard time deciding between drives. Here are 2 I have it narrowed down to -
1) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148837
- This is a SSHD seagate 750GB

2) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227808
- OCZ Agility 4 256GB

My MBP has two Sata III (6GB/S) ports - one is the main bay, the other is the optical disk drive which I am replacing with the MEC Optibay. SMS is only supported in the original HD bay so if I got the seagate it would need to go there. Also, the SSD that apple gave me only runs SATA II speeds 😡 so that will be immediately going into the Optibay slot. But now if I got the OCZ I'm sacrificing space for speed, but would that be enough for gaming? (I have alot of steam games like Dead Space 1-2, MaxPayne3, CODMW3, The secret World, + more). Decisions decisions.. 😕

I would get the Crucial M4 256gb ssd on amazon for $199.99. Sometimes the prices change for example, on Monday i got it for $179.99. I also ordered the aftermarket optibay from amazon as well for only $12 dollars. Its just as good as the more expensive optibay. Just installed this combo today and its crazy fast!

Nice. I think I might go with the seagate for now cause I have a lot of Steam games and need the storage. I feel even a 256 GB SSD wouldn't be enough as I would be using 100 + gigs worth of games. eventually ill upgrade the crappy ssd apple gave me to a sataIII 256GB.😀 Thanks for the replies.

Just bought the 512 gb Crucial M4. So the 13" is totally maxed out. 1tb HDD in the optibay, 512 gb ssd in main bay, 8b Ram... If I could only do more lol.
