Guys...if you`re complaining over that last 8GB, then you need a larger drive anyway. It`s a moot point.

Yes. Plus the argument of "121gb on the ssd" is a poor one as a knowledgeable user would have wanted to over provision that 128 gb ssd down to at least 120gb, anyway.


Not when using the drive as a sound library for composing music. You can go right to the limit of the drives available storage space. You use the drive as read only and the speed is not hindered. Like I said earlier I was wrong in posting my first posts as 90 percent well more like 99 percent of ssd users don't do this with an ssd. So a faster ssd with 5 percent less usable read space is fine for most of us myself included. The none usable 8gb of space would not affect most users. Only those that use the ssd as a read only storage drive. Someone like Danny Elfman may have a system that has 2 or 3 or more ssds that have canned music that he can use to lay tracks for a new pice of music.

This is what happens to me in the spring every year I tend to get a bit wired on the sunlight and caffine.
