Is 128 SSD even enough?

It's standard for ultraportables, but damn
>>
depends on how much you need
>>
If you're using an ultrabook, wtf is taking up so much space? You're not gaming on it. How much fucking programs do you really need?
>>
Just get a surface book/ surface pro 4 instead. Surface book up to 512GB SD and surface pro 4 up to 200GB mSD.

OP here, I just want to be able to bring all my trap and scat porn with me on trips, is that too much to ask?
>>
>>51266564
i used a 128gb in my main PC and it's enough for my game saves, and my main programs, but as your main computer's only drive 240gb is the minimum i'd go, or 180gb at a push.
>>
>>51266579
It adds up. Music, couple of TV shows you download/delete though, couple of programs that you might need, photos from your smartphone..
>>
No, you should probably get 256 if you intend to use VMs.

A Windows VM / MS-Office / VS basically any software by MS eats up tons disk space.

I don't know, you tell me.

That's what nas are for. you won't seriously save files you want to keep on a single ssd will you?
>>
I don't know why people on here are so against expandable storage. 64 or even 32gb is fine so long as you have it.

Why would you insist on saving everything in one place anyway? Single point of failure is going to fuck you in the ass some day.

How long is a piece of string?
>>
>>51266600
Yeah no shit, like $300 more to risk unreliability and bad performance on Win 10.
>>
>>51266564
It's kind of inconvenient imo. 256 GB is optimal.
>>
It's fucking plenty. If you really need to carry anything else with you then portable HDDs are small and inexpensive.
>>
>>51266761
The money thing is true, unreliability and bad performance are bullshit. That thing outperforms any machine apple ever built.
>>
>>51266600

>surface

Enjoy your overpriced garbage. It tries to be a laptop and a tablet and succeeds in being shit at both.
>>
>>51266685
most people don't even know what a nas is
>>
>>51266816
Maybe (probably), but with Apple I KNOW what I'm getting. So no surprises.
>>
>>51266564
No.
Not at all. Everything is bloat now, minimizing your storage space isn't a benefit.

I do.

I had a Macbook Air with a 128GB SSD and it was enough, since I only used it for coding, but god it was slow. Turns out 256GB units are way faster because they're basically 2x128 NAND units parallelized. 512GB ones are even faster but the bigger difference is between 128 and 256.
>>
>>51266965
Slow? the machine or the data transfer?
>>
>>51266856
You mean an overheating turd with a crippled OS for homosexuals?
>>
>>51266564
Yes it's enough. I personally would go for 256GB since I'd probably dual boot and have a few VMs etc but 128 is going to be fine for most people.
>>
>>51266611
Maybe not on trips but on dubs son
