    Hey guys,

    Super noob here, I will be purchasing a Momentum XT today, and should be here tomorrow. Amazon has it for $99 for 500gb hdd/3gb ssd or $129 500gb hdd/4gb ssd. quesstion is does it have to be a specific one (I am guessing it only matters that it be a 2.5 SATA). Is 1gb of ssd really going to make a big difference for $30? Second question is the installation of this thing pretty easy in regards to the actual hardware swap? Again sorry for the nooby question but you guys on this fourm rock with your knowledge. Thanks in advance!
