This is most likely it. Businesses are switching from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and are buying new hardware for it.

- bluedino 8y agoThat’s what I’ve seen. Between adding an SSD and upgrading to Win 10 it just make sense to get a new machine with a new warranty
- ocdtrekkie 8y agoStill shocked how many PCs are sold today with traditional 1 TB 5.6k drives. SSD is still often treated like a special request part, which is insane, given a business PC only needs a 128 GB hard drive. (As all data belongs on the network.)
- golergka 8y agoData primary authorative source belongs in the network. I'd still like to work with my data without network latency, thank you very much.
- ocdtrekkie 8y agoOn a given standard desktop PC load, you need about half of a 128 GB hard drive. Feel free to use the other half for staging files you're working on. :) Obviously, this spec is not the same for say, a video production system or the like. I would point out that most workloads have a negligible to non-existent network latency on a good internal network. (Also, note that on a 1 TB 5.6k drive, your drive latency is worse than my network latency.)
- wongarsu 8y agoI tend to agree with you, but it depends a bit on the kind of data. Office documents are fine in a network share, but I prefer my Git repo locally. For audio/video it really depends on the network setup.
