> Unless you are trying to save a buck it seems 1TB is the standard today. I suppose part of the problem is that while getting a 1 TB SSD instead of a 512 GB or even 256 GB one may not be overly expensive (for a middle-class person in a wealthy country anyway), due to the way OEM laptop product lines are often stratified, you may need to either buy your 1 TB SSD separately or get an altogether higher-specced model than your perhaps otherwise would. The latter especially isn't cheap. There might be some customization options but sometimes little customization is available. That's probably one of the ways people end up with relatively small-capacity SSDs. It's kind of similar as with RAM: a higher capacity isn't that much more expensive in theory, but in practice it may be. This is irrelevant for custom-build desktops but lots of people are running only laptops nowadays. I'd like to see better customizability for the builds, as well as upgradability and replaceability, but the options are often limited.
