IMO 180Gb & 360GB sizes seem a bit silly to me

Why those particular sizes? Granted for games and digital artists etc larger capacity is usually more desirable.

I think they look pretty classy. Wonder what they'll retail for here?

To me those sizes were common like 5 years ago not today, Intel should have done a 2TB ^_^

Nothing wrong with more options.

Do agrees that there should be a 2TB one though.

Which is fine

But to me there just older sizes that no other major company uses any more

 

[Kushiro]

I can understand where your coming from.

TBH I am a bit surprised that they decided to offer those capacities. More options for consumers are nice and all, however it also means that they have more todamage in terms of sales, aftersale service etc etc.

Intel could have beaten everyone to the punch buy coming out with a 2TB SSD now then that would have put everyone else into scramble mode namely Samsung.

 

[Kushiro]

Samsung already has 2TB SSDs

 

[Doomslayer]

I forgot about that

Can't buy that 4TB here atm.

The only 4TB SSD we can buy here is a Samsung Enterprise SSD which is about $3300. no one else the EVO version here.

I look forward to the day a 1TB 850 Pro style SSD is sold for around £150.

Would love to have an all SSD system.

1TB for OS, Programs, Games and a couple of 2TB+ SSD's for everything else.

I have an all SSD system now but it's only 1 SSD but a 1TB SSD

Nice !

I have a lot of movies, Music, Documents, Mods etc... so for the moment I have to have a hard drive but as soon as 2TB SSD's don't cost silly money I'll buy a couple

But i don't like it tho i have partition the SSD into 2 parts but hopefully in about 2 months time i will have a M.2 drive and no it's not Samsung

A 2TB SSD costs here about $900-1250.

A 2TB here in the UK costs around $900AUS for an 850 EVO so it works out around the same.

Well when you get that, let me know and join the all ssd club
Does surprise me that you buy all this hardware and still don't have an all ssd system yet though

I couldn't justify spending over a thousand just to store movies, Mods and documents ^_^

That's what external drives are for! Use ssd for everything else
