Won't be doing much to it. Likely HDD swap, or upgrades down the road. Going to have MemEx do the initial build. Forgot the power supply . No preference. Noted though, I'll look at some other cases.

Even for handling large RAW files, etc? Haha I was originally looking at 64.

Any better options? I won't be gaming at all.

No idea. Missed that little tidbit.

Didn't even notice that was a hybrid, just saw the larger cache size. I'll definitely look at the Hitachi. Was just staying away from WD.

Negative. Shooting in RAW my photos are taking up a ton of space. Was going to use one drive for photos, the other drive would be all music, video, documents, etc. SSD keeps OS and current year's photo library (as I'm editing those more than old ones).
