If you’re looking for SSD you might check out crucial.com <http://crucial.com/> and look for one and add an external case if you want an external drive. If you want an internal that might pose other problems. I assumed external since you were adding on. Fusion isn’t a bad idea, if you’re pinched for money it’s certainly better than mechanical drive only, basically you’re just building in a very large cache where near term data is stored and less used data is pushed to the rotating disk. By the time you add on memory + drive though you’re just about at SSD cost and if you have the extra dough the performance benefits are worth it.
