I mean, why not put the cost of shoving a HDD in the chasse towards a bigger SSD in the 60 to 80 GB range, yes you have to take the HDDs part cost and add another "US Grant" on top of it to come close to the cost of a bigger SSD...but of you did have that bigger SSD you have none of the down side of a HDD in there at all.<br><br>Having that HDD in there adds weight. Not a little weight either, and HDD adds nearly 12-14 oz more weight. It adds battery drain while it in operation. It adds complexity to how things are saved. And as I said above that HDD comes with a price tag which might be better put towards having a bigger SSD. Also now the computer case needs to be bigger to hold two drives.<br><br>Also, this seems like an option destine to have a six month lifespan. In six to eight months from now you might see SSD price dip enough to make having this duel style set up tip towards unnecessary.<br>.
