Why not a SSD though

At the moment they are rather expensive compared to HDDs.

Depends if you want a lot of programs and games installed on your ssd.

I really want a SSD for fast booting but they're expensive for only that

Dont buy those WD Green drives, those spins down and drops out of windows even. And they break much easier due to spinning down, spin up, spin down..spin up....spin down. power cycle is what kills electronics not the constant use.
Who gives shit about boot times if you boot the machine up once a day?

Id go with a Western Digital. Common brand, good rep. Ill be buying a 3TB soon, more than likely a Red one. I have a 2TB Green right now.
Windows/common programs are on my SSD.

Define common programs? Since i have Pawn open a lot, and compile a lot, would compilation time be affected by an SSD?

I've been looking at a WD Caviar Black. Since Hax said about the spinups & downs, Had any experience with failing? there's a review on Amazon that complains about noise, but he had to send it back after 4 months

Yes i had, when the Greens came out first. I bought 2 of them for my HTPC. in raid 1 the another of them died withn 8 months.
Also they are 5400RPM drives so they are slow.
