Will there soon be 1TB SSDs for very low price (compared to prices 2 years ago) when 20TB HDDs hit the market?
NOBODY will buy 1TB to 2TB HDDs soon so HDD manufacturers have no choice but to pump out even larger drives. Technology probably has existed for quite some time but there was no pressure to manufacture 20TB drives until now.
1TB ssds are already as low as 130€ here. Definitely going to drop below 100€ at the next Black Friday, or even before.

Should be talking about the price of fucking DDR4 RAM, considering HBM2 and DDR6 are a fucking thing.
Ryder Peterson
DDR4 going down in price this year
Nathan Ortiz
I don't even have spinning rust anymore. Decent speed/IOPS SSDs have been so cheap for the whole of 2018 already, all my local storage is SSD, that's several TB.
Sebastian Johnson
Haven't heard that for the past 4 years
Joshua Murphy
OP, you have to be 18 on this board to speculate about future relative hardware market price trends
Easton Scott
crucial mx500 1tb sold for 80 merkelcuckbux this last BF, fucking missed it.
At this point when buying a new laptop I would probably be better off buying the SSD separate.
David Harris
Never owned an SSD , since I have to build a new gaming computer anyway it might actually be a nice thing to consider now with the prices. Maybe I don't need 1tb , but what's like the "ideal" size? Do you all just mostly put the os on it or should stuff like games and software also go on there?
Nicholas Miller
Large SSDs become cheap -> 1-2TB HDDs are no longer worth the money -> HDD manufacturers need to make bigger drives to stay relevant
Samuel Turner
All the cheap SSD's are QLC.
QLC is trash and has terrible performance, which is why most of those drives also have some faster NAND added to it so the performance stays the same, at least for 30GB of sustained writes.
After 30GB the performance will tank. Max of 150TB to 200TB of writes for 1TB drives.

>still no 6TB consumer SSD
Cooper Rivera
RAID0 several NVMe SSDs together on a PCIe card.
Logan Ortiz
But SSD isn't proper for storage AFAIK, since it has a limited number of overwrites
Charles Ward
Fug, that was one hell of a deal. I'm in the market for a 1TB SSD, and the MX500 is great. I hoped that the new Samsung QLC would be cheaper, but for now they're more expensive with worse performance.
Daniel Nguyen
you can already get 1tb ssds for like £150 which is insane. 3d nand is blessed
Tyler Cruz
you put the os there and the games that benefit from ssd are mostly MMOs
Levi Carter
Spinning rust will expload before you exhaust your writes on any decent drive.
James White
is this the best SSD after the Samsung SSDs? Kingston etc shit isnt even worth buying
Jaxson Phillips
Ah so then it's not really "required" to have it real big then. Like again I ask what's the current "ideal" size or average size people get? Also I see there's multiple ways to actually plug these in it isn't just sata like normal hds Can this be explained a bit more? It'll be quite a while til I can actually build this thing (lucky to have an old thing for basic stuff sucks that the gaming pc died I've had it a very long time )
Jason Stewart
will Seagate be the only ones releasing 20TB?
Kevin Campbell
>1tb ssds for like >£150 which is insane. 3d nand is blessed enjoy your 3TBW lifespan lmao
Matthew Wilson
Im pretty sure there are some class action lawsuits about anti-consumer ram pricing schemes.
I bought an 860 evo 500 gb ssd for like 80 bucks. When i finally do a full upgrade ill definitely at least get the 1 tb version, which right now is like ~$140.
Brody Reyes
how is it to not be poor?
Alexander James
250gb is fine for your os you have the ones you connect to a sata port and then the m.2 which you screw directly in the motherboard no need for cables
Jaxon Thompson
samsung pro series samsung 850 crucial mx500 samsung 860 adata xpg
Ian Flores
Are the m.2 ones more expensive? Any ssd would be a big upgrade for me in speed so I dunno if it would justify the price. I'm fine with sata if that's all I can do.
