SSD get over 200MB/s for sure... just only situtaions it will get over 500MB/s but 200-300MB/s is in most of situations.

The post of the other guy is a mistake.

RANDOM WRITE

SEQUENTIAL READ

SEQUENTIAL WRITE

The only "bad" performance of SDDs are the RANDOM READ (every HDD have issues with random read)

I think I should be good with a 250 Gb 850 Evo according to those benchmarks. From what I gather the bitrate of uncompressed 1080p 60 fps video is somewhere around 350 MB/s, and I most of the time use a lagless codec to compress as I record, so it should be significantly less (although slighlty more taxing on my CPU.) Plus I can also record to both my SSD and my relatively slow HDD at the same time with Dxtory if I ever needed to. Gameplay recording is likely going to be the most HDD intensive task I will be doing. Although it would be nice if I had the extra money for a 500 GB, because it seems to me as if it is a significant improvement in both size and speed. Then again that money could also be used to buy more games/consoles. Lots to think about. Hm... 

Cheers, I ran the scan and found 14 bad sectors and looking at the main grid it really isn't all that bad, out of all the green squares only 3 are red.

I really want to replace the HDD anyway because it's a WD green and it's write speed is pretty slow compared to WD blue/Black models, that and the WD green is usually meant for storage instead of gaming.

I've already got my eyes set on the Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB 2.5, but it hasn't really gone down that far in price  with some places asking for nearly £100 with PP so I might look into another model/brand.

As long as they aren't increasing at a rapid rate (days) and you resolve any outstanding sectors you should be good with the HDD you have. You should always backup your files anyway. Most HDD's have spare sectors to replace bad ones. 14 isn't a lot if you had this HDD for a while. Mine had 27 replaced with spare sectors, 3 uncorrectable sectors, and 3 unrepared ones, but the only way I could likely resolve them is a full format (as I already tried CHCKDSK) and it was already making ugly noises. So I decided to RMA'd it, because the HDD was only 5 months old and shouldn't be having these problems. 

I've seen 240GB SSD's for around $100 on Newegg. The 240 GB will give both faster performance and more space from what I've read on the benchmarks. You might want to look into them. I will be ordering myself a 240 GB 250 EVO whenever the money goes through to be refunded for this HDD. 

Yeah I've had mine since mid 2013 and it;s done me well. I keep all data backed up on my external WD passport drive, all that's installed on the HDD currently is the OS, software and a few Origin games so really my external is everything while the desktop just acts as a shell.

I could go for a 240gb 850 pro but I dunno how much money that'll cost me since I've still got to grab a GTX 980, new monitor, WD blue HDD (replacing this green WD) and the rest of the parts currently on order go to £248 (without new GPU,HDD,SSD,Monitor), I've got a £500 rebate with £350 something banked, my contract with my company is ending soon so I dunno if I'll be kept on as perma staff so I just want to grab what I can that isn't too expensive.
