I should probably go through my drive weekly and clean out unnecessary files, I don't know how long it'll be before I'd actually need another drive, but I'd like to put that off as long as I can.

 

Right now my plans for this year are to hopefully get a decent sized SSD I can load my games and OS onto, and then throw in another 1Tb drive in addition to my current terabyte, still not sure if I'll RAID them or not....

 

Another 8Gb memory wouldn't be bad either.

    Do you have a separate boot drive, or just that 1TB Seagate?

    Also, how much space are you using up right now?

    What size SSD are you thinking of getting? I always like to have all my games on an SSD as well.

    @Cinnabar Sonar I've got just the 1Tb Seagate, about 400Gb(give or take) right now. I'll probably have that more or less filled up by the end of the year though.

     

    @dizmo I was thinking a 500-750Gb drive.

    Nice, the new MX500 drives are very reasonable, I really hope their 2TB variants push SSD's into a new realm of lower pricing!

    ...not that I'd need 2TB...

    @dizmo agreed, I couldn't make use of 2Tb of solid state storage, although I'd love to get one just for bragging rights...

    @dizmo Those do look nice.

    I have 250 GB Samsung 960 evo right now.  Honestly, there is little difference in overall real use speed between a PCIe drive and a SATA drive right now.

    I'm thinking about getting a 2 TB Seagate Firecuda just for games.

    @Cinnabar Sonar Yeah that's what I kind of figured...I mean I'd still probably put a 1TB EVO or EVO equivalent drive in my next PC, just to have that very slight performance edge, but I don't think most people would notice the difference.

     

    Looking at the 2TB it looks to be only $599. Pretty good. Though I'd be tempted to spend the extra $100 and grab a 2TB M.2 WD Blue. Though we're supposed to see more 2TB M.2 drives this year so... *crosses fingers*
