I recently stumbled across Origin PCs. I never heard of them before, but after reading a lot on them, I think they're a brand I'd definitley like to consider when I purchase a gaming laptop this fall.
WOW the amount of customizable options are plentiful.
In an Origin PC, I have already decided upon:
15" EON15-S
Core i7-4810MQ
16GB RAM
GTX 870M
Hard drive configuration is where I'm having a tough time trying to decide. I'm coming from a 120GB Cherryville SSD with a 2TB RAID 0 comprised of two 1TB WD Blue drives.
I'm thinking a 250GB (either an Origin Approved SSD or Samsung 840 EVO) mSATA SSD for the OS and other small apps and then a 750GB 7200 RPM Mechanical hard drive.
Maybe do another mSATA as a cache SSD for the Mechanical hard drive? Even worth it? Or possibly just a 1TB hard drive with SSD cache and no OS SSD all together?
Also, are mSATA drives any slower? They're still SATA III, right?
Thanks.
