I would say HDD for the following reasons first HDD's are cheaper than SSD for example SSD for 1TB are almost $ 3,000 don't belive me go to this site http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010150636%201421447733&name=1TB&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-solidstatedisks-_-NA-_-NA its almost pointless if your trying to save money and also SDD wear out so you have to buy new ones once and a while. And the only upside is speed and shock protection cause the cache performance and diskless hardware and concerning the disk choice go with the 2TB and the 60GB way cheaper and plus more mem which is always good the more mem the more fun our just more space for programs although im doubting you will use 2TB very quickly.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
