if you're already using an SSD for the OS, just grab a second HDD for media/files.
otherwise get an SSD for the OS and also an HDD for media/files

the second option i listed, then. SSD for the OS. samsung evo forever.

if you still need more space after your existing drive gets repurposed, get a 1TB HDD.
