If you want more storage on your laptop and don’t need the speed you can go for a 1TB HDD. In a 1 TB HDD laptop, the speed will be quite slow and it will take some time to open and close the programs and apps.
- 256GB SSD
If storage is not a problem, and you need the application to open fast and the program runs quickly, then you should go with a 256GB SSD. 256GB SSD is not enough for a laptop after a year you will need external storage. So, it is better to prefer 512 GB SSD and 256GB + 1TB HDD.
