Post by: ZennyPLUS on February 21, 2014 07:52 AM
*affixes pants*

That's a manly question to ask.

750GB + 250GB external/portable

C: 500GB SSD
D: 240GB SSD
E: 300 GB HDD
F: 600GB HDD

SSD's are expensive as fuck but they are worth every penny. in 10 years or so i think they'll be as cheap as HDD's are now

assuming he's running OSX or windows i am pretty sure you can't  fit on a 30gb drive. i run win 7 on my 500gb ssd and it goes from post to desktop in about 15 seconds.

huh i thought you guys would have more

250gb ssd i think? for os + shit that requires maximum response times
2tb hdd for stuff
1tb hdd for stuff
500gb hdd for stuff
1tb hdd external for stuff but it's kind of dodgy, the charger 'exploded' once before and it took me ages to get a replacement from the manufacturer

ssd is great but i don't see the point in more than one due to capacity to money ratio being kind of shit

like rtil said maybe in 10 years when the price is lower and the capacity is improved

but for now i'd rather have 2+ tbs of hdd capacity than 500gb of ssd simply because of the volume of shit i keep installed

if i were to get a second ssd it would be for autocad/inventor stuff

i only store applications/os on my SSD's so that i get the performance speed. storage is still all HDD. i could definitely use some more, though

ya that's the only real need for it currently, though the boot-up speed is lovely

i think back in february last year me and my cousin did some snooping around and the 250gb ssd was the best in terms of monetary value at the time, any bigger and the price would skyrocket and smaller just wouldn't be worth it

likewise i think the 2tb hdd was the best option when looking at combined stats like capacity, rpm and overall price

it's probably changed by now with new models coming in and old ones being phased out, but fuck me if having that 2tb drive doesn't make things piss easy, 1tb got kind of cramped quickly but 3tb leaves me with a lot of breathing room
