Honestly if you are going to use that for just media like mp3s or avi files you'll gain very little from it being a SSHD but if you are going to drop a good deal of steam library on it which includes regularly played games you might, Honestly though I would say look to either spending the HDD money on standard drives over SSHDs if you already have your OS and primary programs on the 240gb ssd |
If he wants to play more than just a few games on that, he'll need to install them on the bigger disk because 240 GB isn't really that much. If it's an SSHD, it should help him out a bit. Apparently there's also the possibility to get an SSD + HDD and use the SSD as swap. Basically it works by dedicating the SSD for swap, and using the HDD for everything. On some level (OS level?), the computer determines which files to (temporarily) put on the SSD and when. The good thing about that setup is that a very small SSD should suffice. Disclaimer: I haven't tried that setup myself, but I thought it sounded interesting.
