Budget 1TB SSDs for data pack rats

Looking for a high-capacity SSD that's not going to break the bank? Here is a selection for you to choose from.

Stringerbell3029d ago

I really want a 1tb ssd but I want the price to come down just a bit - with the announcement of the first 2tb models, may happen sooner than you think...

gizmig3029d ago

For me personally 1TB is enough. No need of 2TB as of now.

Stringerbell3029d ago

Ha I used to think so as well, but the olden rule of the HDD states 'Once can never have enough space' =p

gizmig3029d ago

Lol yea that is true. In the world of advanced technology we will surely need more space in our drives.

Stringerbell3029d ago

Indeed - I just bought a 5tb external so I'm good until a few years from now when I'll be shopping for an 8 or even 10 tab drive!

I sold a 5 Mb drive in 82' for $15000....

Stringerbell3026d ago

@Rhythmattic a genuine lol

gizmig3026d ago

@Rhythmattic You are the man! I was not even born at that time and you were already playing with drives. I wonder what you do nowadays?

Rhythmattic3026d ago

Forgot to mention it was for a System 80 (a TRS80 Clone) and even after the guy bought the Drive, he had to fork out another $1500 for the interface card so he could connect it !!!

Ah, those were the days..........

Seriously? I don't know man what are you doing with that amount of data.lol

DragoonsScaleLegends3026d ago

50-100GB Games + 5-30GB DLC adds up fast, no space left for videos or music let alone more games...

gizmig3026d ago

Well with that calculation you might need more than 10 TB. lol

DragoonsScaleLegends3026d ago

I mean on PS4 Batman Arkham Knight+DLC is currently taking up 72GB, Call of Duty Black Ops III is taking up 50GB without any DLC yet, The Last of Us Remastered is 50GB, and Bloodborne without the DLC is 36GB. Call of duty Advanced Warfare I think was close to 80GB when I deleted it to free up space.

TB hard drives are nothing when it comes to 4K videos and triple a games. I expect PS5 generation of consoles will definitely have more games hitting the 100GB mark.

I just get a Samsung M3 2TB USB external every so often. Lovely little things that do the job nicely! Would love some big internal SSD's tho.

WizzroSupreme3027d ago

Memory is so cheap now that even a 3TB anything isn't anything special.

RetrospectRealm3026d ago

Imagine a 3TB card 10 years ago though. WOWEE that would've been my whole salary. Lol
