It's crazy how big SSD storage sizes has gotten. Never imagined a SSD would be in the 16TB size.

I'm not even close to filling 1TB so imagine what it would be like with 4TB? Would be awesome to have so much space though. Would save me having to remember to delete old backups  :rolleyes:

I would love to have 4TB or more space as well. I would not need to empty my recycle bin, and download tons of anime, games, etc, and still have a lot of space left over for other files.

I know most media like videos and video games are in need of such large storage but I don't feel programs are in need of this. I'm sure most 1 TB SD cards would break before one uses half the storage for files and programs.

That is far to much space for me at the time lol, but at least I would not have to worry about runnig out of space for a very very VERY long time should I get it.
