Samsung 840 EVO 1TB for Mass Storage?

[legend8887]

Is it worth the investment to use a Samsung 840 EVO 1TB for mass storage?

[NohbdyKnows]

If you have money

 

 

Why not?

[Fate]

Sure if you have a shit ton of money to blow on computer parts

[Jamdude]

If you have the money and 1TB is enough for everything you need to store then I don't see why not.

Remember ssd's have a limited amount of writes.

[Freaky_spider]

if you have 1 TB of OS and games, go for it

 

if its for movies 'n stuff dont, get a 4 TB HDD

[LancerBG]

nothing "mass" about 1tb these days.

This. Movies 'n stuff won't really benefit from an ssd that much. You can still buy it if you have too much money, but you should probably spend it somewhere else.

I think its over a million

Remember disk drives have a limited amount of writes.

Remember disk drives have a limited amount of writes.

Hard drives do not. They can be written to an infinite number of times - the only limit is the mechanical devices inside.

This "limit" will probably outlive the drive itself. 

And it will definitely outlive a hard drive.

hardware info did a test of it, the results were like, 10 years of writing 10 gigs a day to your SSD, when you write 10 gigs a day to your ssd it will be full in no time...

Probably. But it is always worth remembering if you are going to be doing something that will write a large amount as it's running.
