This is the "NO-BRAINER" price point; yes?

decisions, decisions; I feel like a deering in the headlites...

say YES Larry so I can pull the trigger 2TB or 4TB; I can't decide.
the 8TB is the "best buy" on a per TB basis.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Personally, if I could afford it, I'd go with the 4 Tb.  It's not like you're
not going to use it!  But the 2 Tb would be sufficient.  I only have a 1 Tb
and it's doing the job!  But I'd love to move my samples ALL onto a bigger
SSD.

I couldn't withstand the temptation and bought an 8TB SSD...  I'll be transferring the data from two old spinner 4 TB drives to it soon!

See you made it easy!

Thanks Lars

fortunately I had just "pulled the trigger" on the 4; not that I couldn't use the 8 mind you...

Right...the 8 would be ideal for the foreseeable future...but way out of my price range...
even the 4 and the 2 are out of my price range

Not a fan of the warranty.  Best Buy also has it for the same price.  SSDs need to come down in price past the 1B range,

Yep. 

I never thought I would outgrow the 1tb SSD sample drive I am using, but....

I am

I have started using my 1tb Intel 660 M.2 as a secondary Sample dive.

It's gotten to the point for PC gamers that a 1TB drive is almost needed for the OS.

I'm thinking of getting a SATA controller and adding 1TB SSDs and you can duct tape those inside.

It takes discipline to take inventory and remove items we don't use.  Marketing libraries is always about size.  How stuff in Komplete does one use?
