I currently don't own any SSDs larger than 240/256GB. (I do own many smaller ones, and a couple of working 240GB ones, although one is going out with a system I'm putting together for someone.)
I see that there are 512GB SSDs dropping below $200 now.
Is there any reason I should buy one or two of them? It seems that SSDs are going to double in terms of capacity for price in the next year, at the very least.
So it would seem like it would be wise to wait.
In my desktop rigs, I generally have a storage HDD as well as the OS / boot SSD. In my laptops, just one SSD.
I don't store a lot of data locally, I have several NAS units. The most I generally use, besides the OS, is downloading some OS install ISO files, that a later burn to disc.
I know Intel / Micro's 3D NAND is coming out in a little while too, which should increase capacity at the same price levels quite a bit, and hopefully, Samsung's prices will go down.
I'm rocking mainly SATA2 SSDs, a mix of Vertex 2, Vertex Plus R2, and X25-M and Intel 710.
