Laptop Hard Drive Sata 5400rpm

Laptop Hard Drive Sata 5400rpm
Which is a better hard drive for a netbook: A Solid State Drive or SATA HDD 2.5 inch 5400RPM?

I only knew of the Solid State hard drives until I started looking into a netbook. My netbooks primary use is for note taking in school (highschool) and a back up incase something happens to my main laptop.
So the most the netbook will go though would be word processing and maybe a few other simple programs.

The netbook i'm looking at offers 16 gig solid or 160 gig SATA (w/e that stands for).... and on my current laptop, I have never reached 15 gigs of hard drive used ever.

Which is better/which should I go for?
I'm planning to store a lot of the files I use/save onto a flash drive that I use for school--If I was to use that and get a SSD with windows, would that be fine?

The solid state drive has no moving parts, so it uses less power and is much less likely to break down. But solid state drives have a very small amount of space compared to conventional drives, and can cost more.

Anyway, if you want Windows on your computer, go for the SATA drive - because if Windows is on a 16GB drive, there will be very little space left over for anything else.

On the other hand, if you are OK with Linux operating system instead of Windows on your computer, then you could do fine with a 16GB drive - in that case decide on whether the reliability of the SSD is worth it even though you get a lot less space.
