Unless you really need the 2.5tib ssd, I would replace it with a higher storage hdd. Personally I store alot of shit on my PC, including the newer games which are well over 100-200 gbs.
Also its not a 2.5 TB ssd but just a 1 TB 2.5 inch drive. At which point they can probably spend the extra 7 dollars so they can actually get NVME speeds with an extra M.2 drive rather than using SATA but then again that is nit picking since realistically we haven't seen a huge difference between SATA and NVME at least for games at the current moment.
It is an SSD though? It says "solid state drive" in the item description...
It is an SSD but its using SATA as the interconnect so its limited to Sata 3.0 speeds which caps out around 600MB/s. So while it is an SSD not all SSDs are the same. So typically the 2.5 inch ones are a bit slower (in theory).
