Today, Amazon launched a lightning deal for the Adata SU800 1TB. It was 81.99$. 82 fucking dollars. The WD Black 1TB costs 72.99$, and a WD Blue 1TB should cost 40~50$.
There is absolutely no reason to not get an SSD for your boot, programs and potentially games drive.
SSDs are getting so cheap now, it's a no-brainer to not get them
>Adata
Sure, but there are options from Samsung, Intel for only about 100$ really
who the fuck needs so much storage though? i've had a 256 for a while and i'm not even close to feeling the limit to it
People storing games, a lot of files.
I store games on a separate drive though and dont have large files so my optane 800p 60gb is actually quite comfy for a boot+programs drive
what is ReadyBoost?
>why does anyone need more than 256 GB storage
This sounds like something a zoomer who only has a phone and no computer would say.
But anyways, some people like to download files off the internet. Crazy I know.
SSDs are a scam
You can't properly wipe them the way you can HDDs
Just the way THEY want it....ehehehehehehe......
>You can't properly wipe them the way you can HDDs
Even if this were true, if you actually worried abt the gov compromizing you 1 you already to late and 2 even spinning rust required complete physical destruction if you don want your data to be recoverable
Aren't those QLC?
I agree with you but that's because i have a NAS where i store all my shit so for me 128-256GB is enough for the OS+applications, maybe 256 including gaymes.
*You're(x2)
My music collection alone is over 278GB.
No, it's TLC with SLC caching and DRAM
They been getting cheap because they were launched back in 2016~, Adata might replace their lineup with QLC drives soon
Raw photos are 20-50mb each. You can easily take 10 pics per subject.
Enjoy your dead SSD in a few years, meanwhiile I have perfectly functioning HDDs from the 90s.
terrible bait
yeah but you wouldn't want to use it
just don't buy the cheapest one
Not to meme but I could fill up a 1TB drive very easily, there are multiple games that are over 50gb.
>bait
Is that how kids say "truth" these days?
Fuck off
but it's micron nand, nanya dram, and a silicon motion controller
>back in my day
>4GB hard drive
I've had a 256gb ssd as the boot drive for my daily driver computer since 2013 and crystal disk mark shows no degradation in performance. my tower holds 6 drives so I've just been adding more ssds since then, no reason to throw storage away.
