they both have pros and cons. depends on what you want to do?

Do you have storage requirements? or do you just want to use the PC to check you e-mail and surf?

either way the WD will do it's job fine, the SSD will be faster when doing it's job though, but if the storage capacity is not a problem go with the SSD.

It depends on what you are using you lappy for. The SSD is faster but do you need the speed? its twice the price. You know that the WD one should work and shouldn't have any isseues with compatablility either.

Its up to you, if your a lite user you may not need SSD the extra 50 bucks could be spent elsewhere.
