What is the largest capacity SSD in your primary Home PC?

 

[DrMrLordX]

I don't technically use my 1 TB drive yet. It's waiting for my Zen2 system. Patiently.

 

[Rifter]

2TB for my steam library, am currently waiting for the new QLC drives to get cheap enough in 4TB capacity to upgrade it.

 

[Oyeve]

I have 2 2TB ssds and 4 1tb ssds in one system. Waiting for 4tb to drop in price then I will consolidate. I also have an external 10TB hdd on the same system. I love storage.

My laptop has 1 2TB drive and 1 1TB drive. Its pretty much full.

I am a data whore.

 

[cfenton]

My 750gb MX300 is still the biggest.

 

[KentState]

Right now my gaming pc has a 1TB NVMe and a secondary 1TB SSD. All the other machines have either 500GB or 250GB drives.

The storage server has 2 1TB NVMe drives, 4 1TB SSDS and a bunch of 6/8TB HDD. Need to get everything setup and installed but it will used the NVMe as cache and then tier the SSD over the HDD. Since it also supports dual 10Gbe, I may end up just running my Steam/Origin/Uplay library direclty from it.

 

[dlerious]

I have 3 2TB SSDs, a 1TB NvMe, 4 or 5 1TB SSDs, and 1 480GB. Crucial , Samsung, Adata, and Sandisk Extreme.

 

[BoomerD]

1tb nvme. HP EX950.

 

[Shmee]

I have 3 SSDs in the 1 TB range. My laptop has a 960GB ADATA SX8200, my mATX Ryzen rig has an ADATA SU800 1TB as 2nd storage, and my main rig in sig has a 1TB 860 Evo. My largest system drive is the 2TB WD black HDD, and my largest overall drive is my 4TB WD Red I use for offline backups.

 

[Furious_Styles]

I've had 2x 1TB 850s for a while now that have been great for me. Got a 4tb mech for large media files/backups. I'll prob upgrade those 1tb to nvme eventually especially with prices coming down.

 

[Igo69]

I have 960GB Sandisk Extreme Pro that I bought 4 years ago.
If and when I decide to build a new computer I will switch to one 128GB NVME SSD for System and other software and one 2TB NVME SSD for storage and games.

 

[Confirmation]

100tb in hdds, holding an offline internet browsing cache for the future that comes, and some sdds for some main OS windows / linux fast indepent boot and some sdds replacing USB's storage

and keeping some usb storages 2gb for some things and many 32 / 64 gb USBs that i dont use anymore because i replaced them with sdds as usb

 

[Igo69]

100TBs? You can store the whole internet there lol

 

[Confirmation]

100TBs? You can store the whole internet there lol

im doing it, then when i dont have internet i do an offline browsing, even cached searchs of wikipedia, youtube, forums, and more
believe me.. you can be hours offline watching the same things you saw years ago LOL

 

[GrumpyMan]

Waiting for the new WD 4tb Blue SSD to come out, I'll retire the mech drives that I use for storage now when that happens.

 

[SPBHM]

if you need capacity HDs are still way cheaper over 500GB, so for now I'm running a 240GB SSD with 2.5TB of HDs, with the way SSD prices are going down that might change in the future....

 

[VirtualLarry]

Waiting for the new WD 4tb Blue SSD to come out,

Is that going to be either:

1) QLC, or
2) NVMe?

That would make a worthy competitor to the Intel 660p.

If they make a $400 4TB 660p, I'm SO THERE.

I hear ya.

In this rig, I've got a 240GB Adata SATA 2.5" SSD, a Seagate 4TB 5400RPM HDD (200MB/sec read and write, pretty impressive, really. It came from an external.), and more recently, an Intel 545s 512GB SATA 2.5" SSD ($55 BF special, they still haven't dropped that low again, got two total on two different BF sales.), and for testing purposes only (might make it my Steam drive, but why, with the 4TB HDD), a "Kodak" 480GB SATA 2.5" SSD. (Tests not too badly. Wish I had bought more of them.)

Edit: PS. Glad I bought a B450 board with six SATA6G ports. Previous one was an X370 with eight. Unfortunately, it was a refurb board, and the primary PCI-E x16 slot on it died.

Agreed, I've even been eyeing up the 2tb 660p. If that thing goes to $150 it's a hell of a deal.

I thought that I read in reviews that the 660p was like the SLOWEST SSD, and the 970 pro was the fastest. Why would you want a 660p ? Or am I mistaken ?

 

[Igo69]

Based on a review of some hardware sites like this one Intel 660p is a bad drive that is why it is so cheap.
I'd save money and get Intel 760p or look for SSDs with NAND technology

 

[VirtualLarry]

Based on a review of some hardware sites like this one Intel 660p is a bad drive that is why it is so cheap.

So was the original TLC 600p Intel NVMe drive. Priced low, with a re-branded SMI controller, it was widely panned. I owned one anyways.

Yeah, I might be disappointed with the 660p, but at least by reading the specs, it's still faster than most SATA6G drives, no? If it's actually slower than SATA drives, and not simply the "slowest" NVMe-class drive, then maybe I would look to skip it, and get a Samsung QVO 4TB instead, if they drop to $400 or less. (Here's hoping!)

 

[SimplyComplex]

I just picked up a 1tb ssd this last Black Friday. Still have 2 2TB HDDs internally, that I plan to replace with a 4tb ssd in about 3 years.

Yeah, this. Picked up a Samsung EVO 240GB to play with and Im impressed with the speed my old computer now has. OS on the Samsung and 2 1tb HDDs for data. Ill replace them with SSDs when the price is right.

 

[GodisanAtheist]

Just picked up a 1tb NVMe 4x drive for games and the thing is a damn godsend.

 

[mopardude87]

I have the Samsung 860 evo 500gb and its plenty. I haven't found any new titles game wise that interest me and ones like BF1/BF5 i don't have installed or even play anymore. Currently got 256gb free.

I am installing though atm the mother of all COD games the Titanic sized COD BO4. Its half way done and well i still got over 250gb as of typing this.

I think these games like COD BO2 and Destiny 2 are deliberately bloated as more gamers prefer installation of games on ssds. These games don't even come close to warranting the 100+ gb installation.
