Damn that is tempting. Only 20 bucks off but its half the price of a 1tb samsung. And I have always had good luck with Crucial.

Yeah. My 240gb ssd plus 1tb hdd was not working out to well, ssd filled up quick with 60gb of bf4 and 80gb of bf1

Same issue. Destiny 2 is up to 96 gb.

I got to a point where I tried to update a game, and couldn't, was only like 4gb free on my ssd. Had to uninstall some games then reinstall on hdd. Will be nice to have everything on one fast place.

Yeah, some pretty insane storage deals today. Lexar 256GB microsd only $23, $52 for 512GGB. Some very good prices on WD Red drives for NAS as well.

$80?! Oh gawddammit

My 240gb ssd was like $70 when I got it, now a few years later I can get 1tb for $80, and it's an nvme.

Question: How reliable is your basic 2 tb ssd? If I bought two for back-up and retrieval of data and music, would that be a reasonable idea or stick with 1tb or more usual hd?

I don't think there are any reliability issues for SSDs, at least with standard usage. Maybe with video editing business level use there might be issues with basic SSDs, but I don't think it would be a problem for more normal use

@Kunlun - this article made me feel better about SSD reliability
