View allTo match the price point of a 500GB drive, you'd be looking at more like a 60GB SSD.
Plus Externals are a whole other hassle. There's a reason I pluck SSDs out of some notebooks and replace them with HDDs. I don't want a bunch of junk hanging out of my external ports when I'm traveling. It's easier to have it self contained.
I'm sorry, but how is this acceptable let alone cheap or easy.
Some notebooks take a special screwdriver (usually torx) to get into.
Others require damn near a complete disassembly to get to the HDD.
I'm not saying all are like that but some are a complete pain in the butt to get to.
That said... I've had this drive's little brother and it was good. Not the fastest, but sure made my laptop snappier!
Otherwise I'm infinibanding my storage server over to my gaming PC at 10gbps.
Let's talk when you can get a 1TB 7mm drive for not $500 and $100ish instead.
Or for those notebooks that are still 9mm how about a 2TB drive for $100.
Not everyone needs speed. Most of my notebooks are focused on storage space.
If they're similar price points there's no "cow to milk".
Most notebooks don't have 1TB drives. They're more like 500GB drives which are closer to $40. $40 doesn't buy you squat for SSDs.
Having say that, this is a normal deal as I personally won't spend 0.39/gb for a SF2218 drive which has been out since 2012 and the SP model as oppose to the SX model utilizes inferior NAND. This drive is at best on par with 3 Year old Mushkin Chronos, OCZ Agility 3 and Corsair Force 3.
I've heard that for years now.
Unless SSDs drop below mechanical HDDs in price per GB, I'll be using HDDs until they do.
HDDs are just as fast as SSDs if you stack enough of them together. I'm getting 800MB/s writes on my HDDs.
quite a few uninformed individuals above;
I thought people knows better,
hmmm,
look up "Sata Express"
that is the connector MADE for the NEW SSDs.
the new ssds are 3-5 times FASTER in reads/writes than current ssds___current one are at 500MB/s, new ones are at least 1500MB/s or faster.
2 TB ssds are around 2000MB/s. for read
yeah, thats right "2GB/s"
gigabyte Internet, here we come!
Muscle growth pills are coming.... Don't buy the $20 protein powder!
Quantum computers are coming.... Don't buy the $300 set-top alienware computer!
etc...
Also spending over half of what I spent on the entire system makes me overthink it
HDD will stay alive until the generation born under SSDs is the elder generation lol. The amount of servers and data stored all over on HDD's is just far too much for companies to make a switch over imo.
ssds are typically better performing now - and durability tests are really good - but when you have massive massive amounts of data to store nothing beats simple HDD setups (plus they have the network equipment for it already)
so prices should drop a bit.
I wonder...will anyone use mechanical HD anymore if the ssd size are close to mechanical ones.
I would say that OP's is the typical pricing for SSDs. That is to say a deal that has wide availability without the need to PM, coupon stack, or basically jump through a few hoops to get. I score a 480GB Mushkin for $165 a while back but it wasn't exactly simple.
