Why haven't you upgraded yet /g/? You literally have no excuse.
>>51786444
Eh. I will. 960GB drives were $199 not long ago.
If I find them for that price again I'll probably pull the trigger just for my laptop.
Because I won't fall for the meme.

kek, I bought it for almost half the price 4 months ago, and it wasn't even at sale.
Enjoy getting ripped off, this is clearly a case of raising the price and then applying a "sale" to trick idiots like you.

>I have 10tb HDD space instead of memespace
>>51786529
>he only has 10tb
>>51786444
>SATA III
>Not M.2
Nah fuck off.
>>51786529
>he only has one storage device
>>51786563
This. Ima get a m.2 or pcie ssd for my test bench
>>51786510
Its 500gb not a 250 kid.
currently using that in my rig OP, it's pretty good. I got mine for like $160 a month or two ago. Can't complain.
>>51786444
I'm happy with my Neutron at the moment
Next upgrade I'll be doing is m.2 for boot and PCIe for storage so no SATA at all.
>>51786444
>slightly faster
>same failure rate as HDD
>damn hard to do disk rec on
ehh
>>51787646
>>51786444
>500GB
Pleb, I've had a 1TB since 2013
>>51787562
Exactly kid, I bought a 500GB 850EVO for 149.99, fucking tool.
>>51786444
Put one of those 250GB drives in my T420 last week. Running Arch on it.
>tfw fell for the meme and enjoying every minute of it
Don't need to upgrade. My samsung evo 250 has almost 80% freespace..... just use it for booting and installing programs basically any thing that faster loading speed helps.
>>51787743
I just bought two 500GB 850 EVO's for 149.98, fucking tool.
>>51786444
When 1TB drives are going for that price maybe.
I really need the constant access to the storage space and my laptop only has a single drive bay.
Currently making do with HDD.
>>51787969
Fucking where, I'll buy it gladly.
Oh wait, you're just lying like the fucking tool you are.
>>51786444
Because samshit is not an upgrade.
Ordered an 11' acer for 299 a few hours ago, gonna drop a 120gb $50 ssd in and make the shit fly, can't wait. Maximum comfy bed browsing.
>>51787998
I just bought two more, fucking tool.
>>51786444
got one on tuesday, actually, but with the usb-sata adapter.
If you're storing anything but the OS on the SSD you're a fucking retard and are only contributing to the higher prices and increasing storage amount.
Protip:256GB is more then enough for your OS and 2 games you constantly play.
Put everything else on a platter.
SSDs are nothing more than a /g/ meme. No one seriously uses them in industry because of the extremely limited number of writes. Also they cost a fuck ton more per gigabyte, and do not have the capacity to hold the entire operating system and applications for a modern computer workstation. The speeds are barely faster than 10000 rpm drives, especially when you consider the fact that most of your hard drive accesses are going through RAM caches anyway, you aren't going to hit the actual disk every time. The only thing SSDs have is *slightly* faster bootup times. But bootup is less than 1% of computer use time, so it's not really a metric worth optimizing for. Just hibernate your PC instead of shutting it off, or grow some pateince and wait the 10 extra seconds to boot up with a normal hard drive.
>>51789473
I'm using it for OS, games and development tools. 256 is just too small if you want your drive to last, i.e. have a lot of free space for wear leveling, you nincomshit.
>>51789612
Games are for children, SSDs are for adults. Grow the fuck up.
>>51789612
I've had my drive for about 3 years.Daily use.OS volume is only at 8gb
>>51789633
>Grow the fuck up.
first, suck my dick
>>51789633
What if I run my games off a ssd?
>>51789710
It's like complaining that shot glasses aren't as good for holding formula as a baby bottle.
>>51789735
What is it makes me money?
>>51789823
If* I make the games? Do I win?
>>51786444
Intel is better.
>>51789473
Now this is a meme
>>51786444
I hibernate my machine and have 12GB of RAM that is used mostly for caching. Other than a few second boot time, I am not really hitting my HDD that hard anyway.
>>51786444
I'm poor and Australia is expensive.
My 320GB hard drive and 1tb external are enough.
