I'll buy a SSD the day a good 512GB one costs less than a month's rent :-)

- modoc 16y agoJust move to NYC or SF and you'll be all set:)
- baddox 16y agoThe cheapest 256GB one on newegg costs about what I pay a month for rent. I must ask, though, why in the world do you need 512GB for your boot drive? The 32GB in my HTPC was 70 USD and is amazing and plenty. My main Windows desktop only has 100 GB used out of 640 (hdd obviously).
- frou_dh 16y agoMy laptop only has one hdd bay. It would be a wasteful to use SSD space for my media collection and big app installs, but the alternative of having an external hdd hanging from the laptop all the time would be a net step backwards as far as I'm concerned. 512 was kneejerk binary; 320 would do :-)
- barrkel 16y agoMy media collection is on my media server. That's got 4x1T+4x1.5T drives in ZFS RAIDZ: a little too much to fit on a laptop. Laptops can get away with ~80G, just about, for Windows 7, and probably less with other OSes. But probably something like the C300 (256G) would be a better choice.
